features/uninstall behaves different in version selection than features/install
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-1093
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1093
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Karaf
            Reporter: Guillaume Nodet


When using "features/install xxx" without a version info, than it takes the 
latest available version.
When using "features/uninstall xxx" without a version info, than it complains 
if the version isn't 0.0.0.

Uninstalling a feature which contains other features which contain bundles will 
end up in having the most top feature in state uninstalled but the sub-features 
and components are no touched.

For example:

Feature MyFeature
  | --- MySubFeature1
  |         | --- Bundle A
  |         | --- Bundle B
  | --- MySubFeature2
  |         | --- Bundle C
  |         | --- Bundle D

When uninstalling the feature "MyFeature" the result is this:

[uninstalled]     MyFeature
[ installed ]     MySubFeature1
[ installed ]     MySubFeature2

This is imho not the correct behaviour.

The "features/uninstall xxx" should automatically select the version of the 
installed features, else throw an error.

For the uninstall stuff, I'm not sure. Currently we do not keep track of 
features installed as dependencies. i guess we'd have to.
If a feature is installed as a dependency, it should be removed if no longer 
used because the feature having a dependency on it has been uninstalled.

Raised a different issue for automaticaly selecting the right version when 
uninstalling.

I noticed the same uninstall issue (not removing dependency features). It seems 
like we will have to do a considerable amount of dependency tracking to get 
this to work properly and there are some really difficult conflict resolution 
issues to consider. I think there is definitely some room to improve the 
features functionality but I am thinking this should probably be pushed to a 
later release.

Yeah, I fully agree. Let's move that one for 1.2.0 and get 1.1.0 out asap.
