Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Multiple version of org.eclipse.sdk.featu

[Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurtako@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If both of you (Jonah and Ed) don't use the composite repo, it's probably time to reconsider it as you're the two making the whole thing work.

P.S. Platform composite repo is smth I wish being simplified too so let's see what will come out of it.

Jonah,

Note that the generated catalogs also don't use the composite

You can imagine that when using the ongoing development stream, needing to do a rollback to undo some bad update might be a significant concern; garbage collection will quickly deletes unused artifacts (except if you're using a shared bundle pool).

HI Nitin,

That is a question I have asked multiple times - I personally find it problematic having multiple milestones in one composite because it doesn't reveal problems until the release and slows down p2 resolution.

The last time this came up [1] I added a FAQ to simrel doc [2] - please let me know if that answers the question.

Anyway, this is why I now avoid using the composite in most cases, particularly the update from the last version test that is part of the EPP release procedures[3].

Is there a benefit to having a composite of more than one milestone, or one build for that matter?

Lars,

That's to be expected for a composite that is composed of all the
milestones for 2022-06 so far...

The concern is about duplicates in a simple repository, e.g.,

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2022-06/https___download.eclipse.org_releases_2022-06_202205271000.html
