Hi David
I'm confused. Why is "not be allowed to update" expected and what is the
"previous EPP"?
I thought that we were trying to ensure that update works.
I can understand that a Neon RC4 to RC4a update might be undersirable
due to evictions and UUID policies, but surely everything else should
work? Chuck out all old plugins incompatible with the new, or in
features replaced by the new, then go. I have observed that this often
fails when e.g upgrading Xtext without uninstalling all downstream
dependencies first, P2 does not allow the required multiple update from
ZIP needed to resolve this preferring to report a plethora of
ambiguities from stale update sites contributed by projects. But for a
SimRel upgrade, all the replacements should be there, so surely replace
and evict should just work?
Regards
Ed Willink

My apologies for not communicating more quickly the information back
to this list. Entirely my oversight.
The final EPP packages themselves are available from:
_https://hudson.eclipse.org/packaging/job/neon.epp-tycho-build/388/artifact/org.eclipse.epp.packages/archive/_
If anyone wants to try an "update scenario you should use the
following two repositories. (And have only them enabled.)
But, remember, the main "test result" ... at least from previous EPP
installations ... is that you should "not be allowed to update". If
you were, the new installation would be broken since there was such a
large change in structure from previous (Mars) version of EPP packages.
_http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/neon/RC4/_and
_http://download.eclipse.org/staging/neon/_
Assuming no "catches the machine on fire" type bugs these will become
our Neon release on 6/22.

any update on the current status of the repository and availability of
packages for testing ?

Extended team,
I am beginning a re-spin of the Sim. Release repository.
Two major changes: SOA-BPN2 modeler removed and Window Builder removed.
The former removed because they didn't finish the normal release
requirements. The later was removed because it has not been tested
with the Neon candidate release. (It did recently, after RC4, get a
build which "removed one line of code" which prevented it from running
on Neon ... but, our goal is not for projects to "join at the last
minute" but to be part of the train for many milestones so it can be
adequately tested).
It is my understanding both projects plan to "rejoin the train" in the
September release.
A minor change: Linux Tools found a major memory leak which would
normally not be "respin worthy", but I told them if we had to respin
for other reasons they could include a fix for that.
The EPP packages will need to be rebuilt of course -- first because
they always are if the repository changes, but more so this time
because Window Builder was included in two EPP packages and of course
will have to be removed from those packages.
I will update this list once both steps are complete.
Thanks,
