Thanks for the quick feedback and correction Kim. I removed that
concern. I saw the zip, but wasn't sure if people were pulling it or
accessing the bundles inside directly off a URL.

Andrew,
I'm confused by your statement "Orbit
provides
this software as a zip file containing bundles for all software.
This would
be better if it were componentized so that just what is needed
can be consumed.
"
Orbit provides p2 repos full of nice bundle components :-)

We don't download the zip, we just consume the bundles we need
and have
been approved to consume from the Orbit repos.

[cbi-dev] Orbit,

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share some thoughts around Orbit,
maven.eclipse.org, etc. as
I feel it is very important, a deceptively big problem at the
moment,
and I don't think I articulated my thoughts well up to this
point. This
wiki page attempts to do so:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI/Distribution
I'd like to discuss this as part of the agenda at next week's
CBI
meeting. I'm sure the information on the wiki could use more
details for
completeness/correctness, so please help make it so in what
ever way is
most convenient for you such as editing the wiki, replying to
this list,
calling me, etc.
Thanks very much,
Andrew
