[+1] +1 Agree to a zip-file approach for Felix release.
100% agree
Above all, OSGi is a platform/framework for delivering solutions and
applications. Installers and packages, necessary as they are, are always
to some degree "application specific". Hence, a "standard installer" is
a long way less important for the framework - whether provided or not,
individual App providers can always add this for their applications if
needed. We do, for example. And we don't demand any installer approach
or Arch. from the framework project.
As a company, we realized the value of a really good open source
platform (Oscar), and also that we had to take time to package it as
needed for our use - for us, the quality of the platform is way more
important than installers, we know that our customers want a specific
installer that for now we will always have to create. I look forward to
the time a generic installer is possible, and as a company we will
sponsor and participate and engage in this process to the fullest extent.
In the meantime, we don't believer any "installer" issues should be a
barrier to a useful and productive Felix release

In order to make progress on a public Felix release, I propose that we
use a simple "zip-file" release approach as opposed to an
installer-based approach. Please vote on your preference.
