Hi
Everyone,
I noticed projects like egit and jgit had a p2 repository
generated as part of their tycho build. I was wondering if maybe
the CBI platform build should also do this too? If so where should
it be done? such as in the aggregator repository?
p2 repo is the universal distribution of any Eclipse project, so I
think any build should produce a p2 repo. These p2 repo are
necessary to be part of the release train, and are the only way to
install or update stuff.
More specifically, depending on what you mean by CBI:
* If CBI is "Eclipse Platform build with Tycho", I think the
expected resulting repositories are more or less the same as what is
described in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites
* If CBI is "Build infra for any project", then Tycho manage the
"eclipse-repository" packagingType for category.xml files, so
projects only have to leverage this packagingType (along with the
maven-signing-plugin to produce signed and pack200'd content) to get
them to work.
