In case you heard the rumors (and if you didn't, where have you been? :)
we did "rebuild" the Eclipse Platform, Sim. Release Repo, and EPP Packages
[1].
I think the bug was "re-spin worthy" not only due to the "surface" reasons
(blurry fonts on Mac Retina displays) but also because the root cause of
that issue was a "configuration IU" which a) was wrong and b) could have
unpredictable effects in various update scenarios or "product building" --
in other words, we don't really know why it effects "platform runtime
binaries" and not other distributions -- and c) is either impossible or
very difficult to fix "after the fact" so best to not to have in the
repository to begin with. Also, I think it a fairly safe fix since it is a
"repository issue" and doesn't change "running code" in the usual sense of
the word,
We have completed the rebuilds and sanity checking and are in the process
of re-promoting. While we won't have as many mirrors populated as we'd
like, at this time we think there will be enough to "make visible" at the
originally scheduled time. (I'll announce here to this list, if that
changes).
Special thanks not only to Markus Knauer for rebuilding and sanity
checking the EPP packages, but also Markus Keller for re-testing the
Platform on the Mac, and to Gunnar Wagenknecht for bringing the issue to
our attention.
Thanks to you all,
