[dash-dev] Re: Athena build vs Modeling build / Dependencies between Hud

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Great idea. I've opened this bug to attempt to address this problem:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=285519

Once implemented, you would be able to call run.sh using a new flag to 
create never-changing URLs.

Of course the other approach is to publish between builds so that build 
B can depend on build A's update site, but that's not as continuously 
integrated. :)
