Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Notes from a Heretic: Why do we have the Ganymede update site?
|
Great! At the DSDP bof at EclipseCon we had a drawn out discussion
about creating distributions for embedded development, which necessarily
require bundling non-EPL toolchains, but we kept coming back to the
legal restrictions currently in place. If those could be worked it
would be of great help in getting Embedded developers to try Eclipse.
Cheers,
Pawel

Pawel, I am glad you asked :)
Yes that would enable such packagings - there are legal issues with
what is "distributed by Eclipse" still. We have ideas how this can be
constructed using Cloudsmith so that users understand when they are
getting something that consists of only Eclipse.org checked bits, or
when packages use a mix of licenses. I think the fact that users can
find all relevant defined distributions in one location makes a big
difference.

(1) I would say "ordering a la carte would be difficult without

For example, in a previous email I mentioned Yoxos and Cloudsmith as
nice end-user a la carte tools. (I wonder if that email did not get
out because I haven't seen any comments about my suggestion.)
+1 on Couldsmith, especially if it would allow us to create
distributions that package together Eclipse features and non-EPL
components.
