I assume you're talking about the new Resolver and Repository specifications 
that are in the OSGi Enterprise R5 release? Because "OBR" is properly the name 
for the Felix implementation, which has been available and released for several 
years. 

An early draft release of the Enterprise R5 spec was made publicly available in 
March and can be downloaded now from the OSGi site. The official final release 
of these specs will be some time later, depending on votes and lawyers etc, 
however the technical content is very unlikely to change.

I believe that the Felix org.apache.felix.bundlerepository implementation will 
NOT be updated to comply with the new R5 specs. Richard is working on the RI 
for the R5 spec within Felix but it is new code, based on the resolver in the 
core Felix framework.

Neil
