Easier for you maybe, but not good releng practice. And, that's not the purpose of that repository. If you use Tycho, their .target file is pretty easy to update with PDE. Or, even if you have a special case, a small script would probably update it easily. Or, make your own composite based on URLs, or something. You'll be better off in the long run.

This way we can find dependencies issues or regressions much quicker. Also, updating all repository URLs in our target every milestone would be pretty impractical. I think it would be very useful to keep the maintenance repository, at least in a non-empty state. I understand that this is not meant to be a stable repository but it would be useful if it was not ephemeral.

Thanks for pointing it out. I will say, however, I would not recommend building against "maintenance". By definition, it is ephemeral -- not a usual persistent p2 repository. Hard to say what state it may be in at the time of your build. But, thanks again.

Stardust is using this repo for the upcoming RC2 contribution for Eclipse Mars SR1. So this means that we cannot run the build. Does we have an alternative URL which contains the latest simrel contributions for Mars SR1 RC2? -- Sven Von: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Matthias Sohn Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2.
