With Pax Logging this is a non issue but with other projects as Pax Web we have to sort out what we are doing with the artifacts that pax web (or other projects we are moving) depends on. For example Pax Web depends on ops4j base and ops4j pax swissbox. There are some solutions as: 1. move also those projects to felix 2. include what is needed from those projects in pax web 3. new Felix HttpService based on Pax Web depends on ops4j projects
For me 1 looks like not in the line of only moving the implementation, 2 seems like a lot of maintenance work regarding later on eventual merges from Pax Web to Felix f in Pax Web we still keep those projects as dependencies, so 3 looks like the most viable option but I do not know if Apache projects can depend on non Apache projects.
