Remind me, is there a way we can test "Check for Updates" before the
updates are actually in the spot that folks installed from to begin with?
That is, how do I take e.g. an EPP package (e.g. our Parallel Package) and
test what will happen for Help > Test for Updates
once Juno SR2 is final?
If I put http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/  in Available
Software Sites, 'Check for Updates' still doesn't see anything new.

Sorry, fell asleep last night :) when I should have been sending out this
notice.

But, we are done with SR2 RC1 warm-up repo.

Remember its "staging" location is
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/

Besides testing that repo, be sure to check the repository reports ...
looks like a few regressions for required files, signed jars, etc.
http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/juno/reporeports/

In addition to testing only that single repo, be sure to test it as a
"composite", since eventually it will be added to .../releases/juno
as a child repository. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_FAQ#Test_staging_as_a_pseudo_composite

Don't forget to test "update" scenarios (some of which need to wait for EPP
repositories to be ready, if they are not already).

Recall that there is no "promotion" of this repo. It will simply be "left
alone" for about a week ... until Juno SR2 RC2 +0.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Juno/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#SR2

As a "warm-up", we don't expect this to be a true "release candidate", but
please approach RC2, RC3, etc., with the attitude that those will be true
"release candidates" suitable for adopter acceptance testing, etc.

Thanks,
