Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-5014:
--------------------------------------------

Do we have any documentation on this?

I have a similar use case where I'd like to completely ignore some resources 
that are supplied to the installer, based on patterns in their URLs, when 
starting a fresh Sling instance.

Does this feature help for that?

> In case a bundle has mutliple install candiates only the highest version 
> (with the highest priorty for the same versions) wins. An uninstall directive 
> in the Sling bootstrap.txt file or provisioning model uninstalls this 
> version. The way the OSGi install behavior is defined this lets the next 
> artifact in the priority queue to get active and consequently only leads to 
> downgrade to the next in the queue.
> As the uninstall directive declares a range that should be uninstalled the 
> expectation is that after a startup with such an uninstall directive none of 
> the declared versions are in an installed state. In consequence the OSGi 
> installer must save this metainformation in the state that prevents a 
> downgrade to a version that is part of an active uninstall directive.
