Fred/Jonah,

I see there is a folder named 20200318-1000 in the 2020-03 releases
folder.  The folder name has never had a "-" in it before.

I don't know why the change - but  composite*RC2.jar does seem to have the correct content (with the new dash)

 

I also see this

/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/2020-03/R/

Whereas in the past there was an RC2 folder for RC2 not an R folder.

There are both for old versions - https://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/2019-12/ - not sure why - but the checklist has it moving to be flat regardless.

 

Also I see a
/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/2020-03/compositeArtifactsR.jar
but in the past the EPP release repo became a simple repository at
release time...

The CI job that generates everything makes that composite - but as per checklist means that it isn't used.

 

I'm a bit concerned that neither look right now as I would expect based
patterns of the past.

I think everything is in place. I still have to satisfy myself about the make visible procedures and ensure the mirrors are "loaded". This part of the checklist has not been automated yet for EPP.

What I don't get - but so far I am "just doing it" - is why the repo is flattened? Looking at past releases (before quarterly releases) it was done too. I don't know why EPP is not handled the same way as the main downloads.
