Re: [embed-cdt-dev] Until and unless a new composite is provided the upg

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The purpose of those lines is to have those p2 sites listed in the EPP EmbedCPP package as an available site. If you make that URL a composite then the Check for Updates will give users a way to update. The composite just means that it has multiple child p2 sites (e.g. one for 6.0.0 and one for 6.0.1).

CDT does it like https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/10.0/ - see the compositeArtifacts.xml and compositeContent.xml files - for CDT they are managed in cdt-infra and copied from github to download.eclipse.org with the CI job https://ci.eclipse.org/cdt/view/Releng/job/promote-files-to-download/ which uses this Jenkinsfile and script

HTH,

Jonah

Hi Jonah,

You made this comment in the org.eclipse.epp.packages.git/packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.embedcpp.feature/p2.inf file, at the end, and commented out two lines:

# org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(location:https${#58}//download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/releases/5.1,type:0,name:EmbedCDT,enabled:true); \
# org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(location:https${#58}//download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/releases/5.1,type:1,name:EmbedCDT,enabled:true);

(there are two more at the very end, I'll comment them too)

Is this something that we should consider for 2020-12, or can be postponed for the next release?

I currently don't know how to make a "new composite", but since in v6.0.0 the update site will be anyway different, perhaps in a further release we can address this too and add the "releases/6.0" site.


Regards,

Liviu
