Hello,
Are there any plans to bring together p2 and OSGi
resolver+repository standards?
There is no immediate plan for this.
It should be beneficial to have similar (maybe identical?)
dependency resolution at provisioning time and later at
runtime.
The install time and runtime resolvers resolve a slightly
different problem because the install time resolver has to look for
candidates in a large space, whereas the runtime one has to connect
as many components together.
I have not tried replacing the p2 resolver with the new OSGi
resolver so I can't tell how it would perform.
Specifically:
- Is it possible to publish the bundle generic
capabilities/requirements to the p2 repository?
Yes this should be possible. The underlying p2 capability /
requirement model is really extensible and the current limitation is
only the serialized format.
- Is it possible to use the equinox Resolver inside the p2
Planner?
It is possible to get something going but I'm not sure if this
will scale (p2 resolver is able to perform seamlessly on 10's of
thousands of IUs), nor if you will be able to replicate the
subtleties that result from having an objective function.
- Even if the equinox Resolver can not be used is it
possible for p2 to handle generic requirements/capabilities?
Yes. This should not be too much work.
