Fixed versions update site? [message #1443921]

Is there a set of URLS for update sites with fixed versions?

Currently the project creation wizard defines the following repository configurations

	<repositories>
		<repository>
			<id>efxclipse-repo</id>
			<layout>p2</layout>
			<url>download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-nightly/site</url>
		</repository>
		<repository>
			<id>efxclipse-addons</id>
			<layout>p2</layout>
			<url>downloads.efxclipse.org/efxclipse.bestsolution.at/p2-repos/addons/nightly/site/</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

We would like to fix version numbers so that a reproducible build can be guaranteed.

Hi,

The nightly as it is named is not a fixed version but update on a
nightly base. The only stable URL we currently provide is the release p2
repo [1], see also the release announcement [2].

If you still want to stay on the nightly you can mirror the repo locally
on somewhere on your server infrastructure using the p2 director [3].

We could add an option to the wizard allowing you to select if against
which repo you want to build. If you want such a feature file a bug, I
can't promise we have the cycles to work on that but it won't get lost.

Thank you Tom, I'll file the FR to keep it in the records.
Perhaps we can send you contributions in the future, I know how hard a one-man show can be Wink

Cheers,
Andres

As a follow up, is there a stable link for the addons update site? I can only see the nightly at the moment.

No the addons stuff has never been released. Currently it only holds the
jemmy stuff which we are going to replace with TestFX hopefully very
soon. JemmyFX is dead and TestFX has a license that allows us to ship
directly from Eclipse.org.

In case you don't use jemmy, simply remove the repo from the targets.
