Hi all, I wonder what the sate of "findable" updates sites is? There has not been much progress on the issue recently. I think one problem is to have a common pattern but another problem is "how to find the update site". Today I was looking for the update site of EMF 2.9. This is not easy. Once I found it, it could not update because the plug-ins I needed also needed a new version of xtext. So another round of hunting started.
As a user this is really difficult. P2 solved a lot of dependency problems but the new type of dependency is to find the correct update site. Once they are found, p2 does a great job... Likewise it is also sometimes *very* difficult to find the git/svn repository of a given plug-in. Ideally there should be a simple update site and repository search facility that allows to look up the update sites and the repository for a given plug-in or feature. Hmm, thinking of it, it would be nice to get form a package or a class to the project, the update site, to the repository, mailing list, newsgroup, and to the correct component in bugzilla etc. E.g. on the http://projects.eclipse.org page could be a search button that would find the resources associated with a package, plug-in or feature. Or does such a facility already exist and I have not found it? Michael On 4/18/12 6:57 PM, Miles Parker wrote:
Hi all, Please see the bug below. Isn't it about time we had a good common approach to this? 377111: Provide standard update site locations https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=377111 Please follow up on bug. cheers, Miles _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
