| Survey, site.p2 defaults [message #519228] |

Hi,
I'm looking at Bug 302684 "Exclude original jar files when using pack200" [1]. The question that comes to mind is,
shouldn't this be the default? If I indicate that I want a site with pack200 packed files, why would I want to retain
the original jars as siblings?
There is perhaps one reason. If I access the repository from the local file system (using file:/ URL's), then p2 will
use the original jar even if a packed one is present to avoid the overhead of unpacking. But is this reason prominent
enough to make the repository three times larger then it needs to be?
As part of the bug resolution, I'm planning to add the property:
site.retain.unpacked=true/false
The question is, what's the best default for this flag? My preference is 'false'. What's your opinion?
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

This is now implemented and pushed to our 3.6 update site. It will be part of 3.6M6. The default for the
site.retain.unpacked is false.
