Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Pre-M1 Aggregation Repository

Just thinking out loud... We already have information about what individual
repositories go into a given simrel aggregation build. What if the build
produced a report listing the input repositories? From there, it's a
relatively small step to have the portal show the project's contributed URLs
for various simrel releases. 

Of course, that will expose another problem, that many projects contribute a
mutable repository to aggregation...

A single repo that has everyone's builds, milestones and releases would make
the situation worse rather than better. Whether you use an uber p2 repo with
links or Maven. The issue is how do you control that you are building
against a particular build of your dependency. Instead of having to manage
the URL of the build, you have to manage the version of each feature from
that build that your build is consuming. After all, you don't want to just
pickup the random newest version. That's a lot more work.

Nexus does not support mutable p2 repositories similar to maven, so we will
have to deploy separate p2 repository per build per project. I am not sure
what advantages this will have compared to existing download area, and we
will still have no easy way to tell what repositories should be used for
what yearly release.
