Re: [p2-dev] Update, shared installs, and EPP Package

I don't really think #1 is an option, as we would be removing 'self update' for all users, and trying to communicate this would be a nightmare.

The problem with number 2 is that it's not really our call (the p2-dev list).  I think we should bring this to the wider community (cross-project dev I guess) and see what they think.  

As for the concern about SLF4J being installed -- the reality is, they were already installed.  Because of the resolver bug that Pascal mentioned, SLF4J was being pulled in, so now we are just making this 'explicit'.

cheers,
ian

The problem was not with SLF4J per-se. It is the one that ends up in the middle of the mess because it was non greedly required.

The background here is the SLF4J bundles were being brought in the epp packages because of the p2 bug and again because of the bug their uninstallation was leaving the system in an inconsistent state. The idea of having those bundles be part of the SR1 packages is that when the update occurs the uninstallation of these bundles will not occur thus leaving the installation in a consistent state.
