Hi Scott,
A couple summers ago I tried running p2 on Felix, and I seem to
remember that simpleconfigurator was running fine. For running the
rest of p2 on Felix, it was in the realm of possible but required
some work to clear out some dependencies and I did not have the
bandwidth to do that. As for keeping your progress somewhere, it
is definitely interesting. I think the wiki is a good place for
this.

Hi John,
Thanks for the info. Speaking only about simpleconfigurator
for the moment, has anyone tested it out on Felix recently (e.g.
as part of p2-on-Felix efforts)?
Would there be any desire/community value in (e.g. me) doing
that and reporting results somehow/somewhere?

is I believe completely generic and could be used on other

Simpleconfigurator.manipulator requires frameworkadmin. There
was a time in the past when we had prototypes of
frameworkadmin for Felix and Knopplerfish but those were
abandoned. The purpose was always for the frameworkadmin API
to remain generic, and then have separate implementations per
framework. There are some related bugs with a small amount of
historical info:

Although simpleconfigurator has
no 'p2' in its namespace it is maintained by the p2 team. So
this may be a better question for p2-dev. That being said I
know that simple configurator has a goal to not depend on
anything out side of the framework. It is driven by the
content of bundles.info. The bundles.info file is managed by
the rest of p2 (or anything else, simpleconfigurator does not
care who manages that file as long as it uses the the expected
syntax/format). Others from p2 may be able to point you to
some efforts from a while back to run p2 on other frameworks
besides Equinox.

Sent by: equinox-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Folks,
A couple of questions about simpleconfigurator (and
simpleconfigurator
manipulator):
1) I see from a casual look at the dependencies that it only
imports
org.osgi packages...does this mean that SC/SCM can run on
other
frameworks (e.g. Felix)?
2) I assume that simple configurator depend upon
FrameworkAdmin
service...is that right? What other services does it depend
upon?
3) Is there a web/wiki page that has docs WRT these
questions and/or
others? I found [1], but it's maybe a little dated (?)
thanksinadvance,
Scott
