RFC 138, new draft written to remove assumption on a real nested framework.
Lifecycle issues and performance issues when using a real nested framework for isolation.
Use of DS for compendium service implementations
The org.eclipse.update.configurator currently uses an approach.
Use another lazy mechanism to register the services.
Open a bug against compendium to discuss more ideas. bug 289489
API to interrogate DS components.
Equinox impl provides console commands to do this
Apache Felix has a programmatic API
Should we 1) invent our own API 2) collaborate with AF to use their API 3) go straight to spec an API
GSOC
Ian and Jeff were working with a student (Chris Matthews).
Create a "small" VM image to run on the cloud.
Started rather large and pairing it back.
Based on Linux.
A tool to piece together an image with Linux, Equinox and p2 enabled to manage with a web-based UI.
Student is interested in continuing work.
Pascal talked a bit about trying to replace YUM with p2 to manage linux.
Pascal describe other GSOC projects
Web-installer - project did not progress well. Did not move very far.
Matt investigated tools for interrogating p2 meta-data. Allows you to look at the dependencies of a p2 repo. Work still to be done to get it integrated into the agent. All UI based.
Equinox book status
Jeff asked for reviewers from the Equinox team.
Today is the day to send in 95% of the content to publisher.
Make available content for review by tomorrow (hopefully).
EMF project webpage has link to the EMF book. Would it be OK to add a link to the Equinox book? Consensus on call was that it is OK to do.
