If you compare to a debian installation (from a CD, let's say), you start with packages (OSGi=bundles) from the CD, and then you can upgrade through the network (Oscar=OBR). So unless you remove the initial bundles AND you want to start a new framework (by providing a different name when Oscar starts), it should be ok. I think if we want to improve OBR, we need to consider what is used in other big projects in order not to reinvent the wheel and waste resources. It would be very nice to have something as powerful as the debian apt/dpkg tools. But who can afford to develop it? Maybe someone knows of something quite similar already in Java... in the jakarta world? > PS. I also dislike spaces, but it's kind of hard to forbid them. Well, it is just a bundle name for OBR... In debian (sorry, this is MY reference ;-) , you can't use space in package name and the underscore is reserved to separate the name from the version. So you can't even you it ;-) Michel |
