Hi All, As discussed in the MD-SAL call, there is an architectural need to move karaf-parent from the controller project to the odlparent project. This is particularly useful for karaf upgrades, since previously a bump in karaf version within odlparent required a rebuild of controller to reflect the change in karaf-parent, and our build jobs are not set up to support such behavior.
I am working through and updating all projects to utilize odlparent's karaf-parent [1]; if you have not seen a patch to your project yet, it is because I am flow controlling the changes and not bog down CI too much (I have a script that I wrote to make the changes). Your project will not break in the meantime even if it references controller's karaf-parent artifact, since controller's pom was kept around and simply inherits from odlparent's karaf-parent pom. *I am sending this email to represent that the controller team is deprecating the controller karaf-parent artifact.* It will remain in Boron for compatibility reasons, but going forward odlparent's karaf-parent should be used instead. The archetypes have been changed to reference the new odlparent artifact, and the rest of the projects will receive patches shortly. *In the past we recommended that external distributors of ODL utilize controller's karaf-parent artifact* *for custom karaf distributions; the only thing that should need to be changed is to utilize odlparent's karaf-parent artifact instead (just change the groupId).* The naming convention for artifactId was kept constant, and the versions already followed odlparent's versioning scheme. If you need an example, there are several included in [1]. Please let me know if you have any questions. The process for moving this artifact was designed to minimize if not eliminate any breakages.
