I'm at somewhat of a loss.

I'm trying to understand what the real advantage of using the Bundle Repository 
for installing bundles. I understand the advantage of it being able to discover 
dependencies and load those as well.

However, if I deploy using obr it updates the cache, but doesn't update the 
bundle directory. I'd like to be able to get a felix install working and then 
create an installer to distribute to other machines. If I use obr I'd have to 
include the cache directory which only has the jars as 'bundle.jar', not the 
real name of the jar for reference, and nothing else in the cache directory 
that specifies which one is which. Yes, I can look at the running ps command, 
but what if it's not running yet?

It seems what I really need is to download the bundles I need and use the 
FileInstall bundle or hardcode the config (which I'd rather not).

Am I missing something? Actually, I'm sure I am... just let me know please.

Also, is there an OSGi Log Service already part of Felix? Or better, which 
Felix bundle provides the Log Service?
