Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-9172: ---------------------------------------- [~dsuess] - fully agree on not delaying the release with docs, but it should be there eventually. I think it's also a big departure from how things worked so far, even though opt-in, hence the suggestion for the version change. > Allow Sling Installer to install and handle multiple versions of bundles > instead of updating > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-9172 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9172 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Installer > Affects Versions: Installer Core 3.10.2 > Reporter: Dominik Süß > Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler > Priority: Major > Labels: Sling-12-ReleaseNotes > Fix For: Installer Core 3.11.0 > > Time Spent: 4h 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Sling Installer currently always updates bundles when different versions of > bundles get installed. Since Apache Felix does support multiple versions of > bundles to exist in parallel it should be possible to change the behavior > with via property to install and uninstall multiple versions in parallel > instead of updating them. > To achieve this two changes are required: > a) DefaultTransformer should change the EntityID of bundles to include the > version to make sure the state handling of Installer handles each version as > own entity > b) BundleTaskCreator must be adjusted to create install task over update task > as the detection currently checks for the existence of BSN -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
