[eclipse.org-committers] The end of an era: shell access.

[Eclipse Webmaster <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

  As some of you may know we have traditionally provided a limited set of committers with shell access to build.eclipse.org, and all other committers having restricted shells.

For the last couple of years[1][2] we've been working to reduce that number as far as possible, and the time has come to finish the process.

Effective August 28th 2019 we will be transitioning all committers that still have a regular shell to our restricted shell.  You will still be able to use SFTP and SCP to interact with the downloads and archive areas(but we suggest a job on your Eclipse CI instance!)

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Webmaster.

-Matt.
