Although Nick explained clearly why archived sites are not recommended (and I agree with him generally that it is the best way to be updated), I still think that we are missing some scenarios where people look after actual releases/packages artifacts.
Try to image that a user wants to update to specific version (don’t ask why J), he first needs to understand what update site (URL) includes it and then pick from the list of updates the version he needs, more than this, sometimes when we remove updates he can miss his package from the list. This part in the downloads page is also confusing: ATF · ATF-Update-N200907270346 ... · ATF-SDK-N200907270346 ... · ATF-runtime-N200907270346 ... Everything is empty and a “download” icon is displayed. I originally thought, like Stanimir, that there were errors during this build. My suggestion is to form it like this: (ok, I really used to PDT presentation J): ATF · 11.0M (md5 <http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/drops/2.1.0/R200906250959/pdt-Update-2.1.0.zip.md5> ) All-In-One Update Site <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/downloads/drops/2.1.0/R200906250959/pdt-Update-2.1.0.zip> · 14.3M (md5 <http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/drops/2.1.0/R200906250959/pdt-SDK-2.1.0.zip.md5> ) SDK (Runtime, Source and Tests) <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/downloads/drops/2.1.0/R200906250959/pdt-SDK-2.1.0.zip> Thoughts? Roy From: atf-dev-boun...@eclipse.org [mailto:atf-dev-boun...@eclipse.org] On Behalf Of Jacek Pospychala Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 2:50 PM To: AJAX Toolkit Framework discussion Subject: Re: [atf-dev] ATF 0.3 nightly builds available! Hi Stanimir, The first link is the address of update site to be used from within Eclipse to install ATF. Go ahead thru steps described at http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATF/Installing and ATF should install correctly. I will update the http://download.eclipse.org/tools/atf/updates/ to provide more helpful information when accessed from web browser. Thanks Jacek stanimir petrov wrote: Thank you very much.
