Hi, Since I've seen a bunch of these discuss / release threads lately, I thought I'd propose one as well ;).
Jens Offenbach reported FELIX-4851[1] a few days ago which has been a blocker for us both (separately) to use Felix SCR + Config Admin in production. It is a critical bug that prevents using Felix ConfigAdmin implementation to create DS components safely. It's a tricky problem to debug so who knows how many more experienced it? The same program can work on some machines or OSes and not on others, depending on how much time a bundle needs to go from states STARTING to ACTIVE (e.g, a recent mail "ConfigAdmin 1.8.2 does not call ManagedServiceFactory updates method" by Balazs Zsoldos in which he states his code doesn't work on Windows but works on Linux; and works when the configuration is updated again; that might be the cause?). As far as I know there have been a few other fixes that would be nice to see released, but this is the main blocker that imo justifies a release. I'm not a committer on Felix so I can't propose to apply the patch and cut the release, but maybe someone will step up? :-) What do you think? Thanks, [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4851 -- Simon Chemouil
