Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Multiple version of org.eclipse.sdk.featu

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nitin,

The platform's https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.24-I-builds/ is like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?compositeMetadataRepository version='1.0.0'?>
<repository name='The Eclipse Project repository' type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.CompositeMetadataRepository' version='1.0.0'>
  <properties size='3'>
    <property name='p2.timestamp' value='1654000208596'/>
    <property name='p2.compressed' value='true'/>
    <property name='p2.atomic.composite.loading' value='true'/>
  </properties>
  <children size='7'>
    <child location='categories'/>
    <child location='I20220528-1800'/>
    <child location='I20220529-0600'/>
    <child location='I20220529-1800'/>
    <child location='I20220530-0600'/>
    <child location='I20220530-1800'/>
    <child location='I20220531-0600'/>
  </children>
</repository>

What's the benefit of that?

I don't think there's a big benefit to such a composite; I think someone once said that this way you can roll back and update...   And sometime people specify very exact versions in their *.target too. 

In any case, it's just always been done this way, and likely if we changed it we'd find out what assumptions are broken by changing it...

Is there a benefit to having a composite of more than one milestone, or one build for that matter?

Lars,

That's to be expected for a composite that is composed of all the
milestones for 2022-06 so far...

The concern is about duplicates in a simple repository, e.g.,

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2022-06/https___download.eclipse.org_releases_2022-06_202205271000.html
