Hello Nice round KARAF-6000 number!
I added a comment under KARAF-6000 - I generally think that going the _OSGi way_ is a good thing™, but we have to remember about all the features of ... Karaf features - blacklisting, prerequisites, overrides (bundle and feature overrides) which may not be directly translatable to OSGi R7 repositories. But it's a great subject to investigate and I'll be more than happy to review your PoC! best regards Grzegorz Grzybek pt., 23 lis 2018 o 05:16 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net> napisał(a): > Hi guys, > > as discussed since some weeks, Karaf 4.2.2 should be in vote in couple > of weeks. > I started a Karaf 4.3.x branch locally and master will become 4.3.x once > 4.2.x branch will be created. > > Karaf 4.3.x will update to OSGi R7 and other major dependency updates.
