Hi,
I have a couple of questions about dealing with binary IUs. For all I understand, first P2 downloads them to a local directory (p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache) and then runs install instructions. - Why is such local download necessary? Say, if install involves just unzipping, it should be possible to directly stream data from a server and unpack them on the fly, without local storage of zipped data. - I see there's a bug about binary cache having unbounded size - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=395127 How do people work this problem around? If I just wipe all this cache on product startup, will anything break? I must admit I don't understand the purpose of caching here.
