Hi Bjorn,
The errors that you see from pack200 are scarey. In case
the pack200
command which prints those errors actually does create some
.pack.gz
files in spite of the errors, I think you are at risk
of producing an invalid
update site, which a pack200-enabled JRE like
Java 1.5 would not be
able to consume.
In case no .pack.gz file is created whenever an error is
printed, I
think you are on the safe side though performance might
suffer slightly
since fewer files than possible would be
packed.
how did you run pack200?
I think that you must run the Eclipse siteOptimizer, or you
risk creating invalid files.
The siteOptimizer must honor settings from the Eclipse.inf
file which the Projects
have put in there.
Also, you can NOT pack the following
plugins:
-
com.ibm.icu
-
org.eclipse.ocl.doc
-
org.eclipse.rap.ui.intro
-
org.eclipse.uml2.doc
These produce invalid data, which can NOT be unpacked. When
consumed with
an 1.5 JRE, your released Ganymede site would be
invalid.
You may want to consider attached mirroring script, which I
used to create
an "Archived Update Site" which mostly contains packed
plugins. That archive
is located on
it is 287MB large, built from the "Weekend Ganymede M5"
3.0.0.2008_54_14_36_59,
and I successfully used it to install all of Ganymede M5
on a WinXP laptop,
as well as upgrade to Ganymede M5 on Linux
RHEL4.
Cheers,

Markus, Denis, Everyone,
I've run the pack200 over the M5
staging site. And the digester. Then I removed all the existing files from the
live Ganymede update site, copied the staging site to the live site. So now
the only files on the live Ganymede update site are the M5 bits.
Denis
should (I think) set the servers to 'blocked' to allow the bits to propagate
and then, yes, you/we can announce M5 tomorrow.

P.S. The
pack200 process had a lot of problems like this:

Many
jars worked fine, others had problems. Any ideas?

Hi Bjorn,
tomorrow (Tuesday) is Ganymede M5 Release day.
So I wanted to ask you about the current status of the Ganymede staging update
site, and when you are able to copy the bits from staging to release.
* I will update http://www.eclipse.org/epp/ganymede.php tomorrow if nobody
sends me a 'no-go', and ask Ian to update the link in the top right corner on
the main eclipse.org download page.
