Agreed. This is why it says: "For convenience we may create standalone and web application releases once or twice a year. These applications though would just be packagings of already released bundles." :-) > > BTW, is there a way to define a set of bundles which certainly work > together.

Basically yes, but: The OSGi Compendium 1.4 has a Deployment Admin Specification which defines a deployment package file format and and respective administrative API. In the Apache Felix project we are currently waiting for the paper work to be finished for a contribution of an implementation of that specification. As soon as that one is in Apache Felix, we might well provide Deployment Packages of Sling Bundles. On short term, we might well create assemblies for them. Good proposals for creation of such assemblies are welcome, of course :-) Regards Felix > > Regards > Alex > > > Felix Meschberger schrieb: > > Hi all, > > > > I have been thinking about releases and version numbers in Sling and > > wrote up an initial text on that at [1]. > > > > The page is currently missing the actual list of bundles, we would want > > to include in the initial release.
