I am going to be making some changes to how Felix creates bundle caches.
Currently, when you create an instance of Felix it needs one of the
following pieces of information to create a bundle cache:
* Profile name - in which case it creates a directory named after
the profile name inside the default "~/.felix" profile directory
for caching bundles (you can also specify a cache directory and a
profile name) or
* Profile directory - in which case it caches the bundles in the
specified directory directly.
The change that I want to make is so that it is possible to start
Felix without specifying any information, in which case it would
default to creating a bundle cache directory (e.g., "felix-cache") in
the current working directory.
I definitely like the idea of starting Felix without specifying any
profile information, but I don't like programs writing to CWD. It's very
easy to forget to delete such directories and several such directories
are scattered through out the file system. A better alternative is to
write to either a default directory inside felix installation directory
or in /tmp. More over, when Felix is started without any profile or
cache dir information, the default behavior should be to flush the cache
upon restart. So, may be Felix can create a temporary cache dir at
startup and deleting it at program exit.
Thanks,
Sahoo
