Minutes
Flexible versioning support (majority of call)
Thomas gave an overview of versioning requirements in Buckminster and a few examples of subtleties in how versions are interprested in OSGi vs. Maven etc.
Discussion around ideas to allow a pluggable version system
Much discussion around impact in particular looking at changes in Required and Provided Capabilities.
Some key concepts:
IVersion, IVersionRange
built-in matchers (and potentially rankers) likely type driven
Next step is to put forward a more detailed proposal that would look at implementation changes required. (Henrik, Thomas)
Some potential to seriously consider implementing a few critical foundational pieces -- M5 thrown around as a deadline for some semblance of integration.
DB-based repositories
requires some API work, potentially gels well with work Ian B. is doing (see next week's agenda)
Pascal brings up it would be good to get an opensource implementation to work more closely with to ensure we're correctly covering requirements.
