Richard S. Hall closed FELIX-285. --------------------------------- > Make resolver more robust > ------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-285 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-285 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Bundle Repository (OBR) > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Bart Elen > Assigned To: Richard S. Hall > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > Attachments: ResolverImpl.java > > > There are two issues with the resolver of the current OBR implementation: > 1) It does not try each possible composition > Suppose we want to install bundle A, and A has a requirement which can be > fulfilled by bundle B or C. B itself has a requirement which can be fulfilled > by bundle X and bundle C has a requirement which can be fulfilled by bundle Y. > A-B-X > A-C-Y > Suppose now that bundle X is not available (or can not be installed on the > local platform) > A-B- > A-C-Y > composition A-C-Y is now a correct composition, but the current > implementation will notice that bundle B can not be resolved and will then > stop. OBR will not always detect the correct composition. > 2) Bundles are not always updated > Suppose we want to install bundle A which has a requirement which can be > fulfilled by bundle B. > A-B > An old version of bundle B is already locally installed on the platform but a > newer version is available on the repository server. The current OBR > implementation will detect that the requirement of A can be met by the > locally installed old version of B and it will not check for a newer version > on the repository server. > I attached a fixed version of ResolverImpl.java in which the described issues > are fixed. > This is my first issue submit ever.
