Re: [equinox-dev] Configuration Admin bug

Glad it's working now...

You're point about compatability of the store data is really interesting (I
think so at least).
In terms of technical details as part of the graduation work we switched
from using regular files to the frameworks ReliableFile infrastructure.
This does change the layout on disk and so is not backwards compatible with
the original File approach. As you mention this change will not work when
"updating" your bundle from the earlier approach. Once the component
graduates I would expect this storage format to be relatively stable.

In terms of a real long term solution I thinks it's inevitable that we're
going to run into "incompatible" bundle data in the CM bundle and others
and in these cases we perhaps should look at using provisioning
infrastructure.
Deployment Admin had the notion of "Customizers" to handle these sorts of
changes and this sort of thing is definitely in scope for p2.
