Apologies, if I've been guilty of this.
I, personally, do not believe that all of Aries should go into
Felix, I too think it should have its own identity. I was always
only ever referring to the independent OSGi spec implementations. I
was arguing that Felix is a good place to work on them, since it is
part of what it is trying to achieve.
So, let's assume that one or more OSGi spec implementations are a core
part of Aries -- with specific features/customization for Aries.
Personally, it seems reasonable that an Aries project would want these
customized spec implementations close at hand -- within their project.
What would be the benefit for the Aries community of developing these
spec implementations at Felix? Perhaps you can help me understand...
Likewise, I'm not sure I understand how these implementations would
harm Felix.
Further, I don't really understand the implication that somehow the
burden is now on the Felix community to go and contribute to Aries
on OSGi spec implementations just because of this proposal, when
there was no attempt to work with the Felix community on creating
OSGi spec implementations in the first.
I think the intent was to look for opportunities to bridge a gap. If
this doesn't help, I'm willing to try and work on alternatives...
The only conclusions I see being drawn by people who have invested
very little in Felix is that we should dismantle the Felix charter
so that we can accommodate the fact that some people don't want to
play with us.
I don't know why anybody would want to "dismantle the Felix charter".
I'm not sure why Aries would impact that one way or another...
