RE: Fw: [emf-dev] Download update site

Golly.

This isn't a formal request from the Eclipse Foundation. I'm just working
through the various options. I don't believe that it's urgent. It's probably
not worth pursuing if it's as much work as you suggest as I'm only aware of
the one organization that cares about it.

I've presented them with the rsynch option, and have even suggested that
they could build their own update site right out of CVS. I think the best
offer right now is that I package up the update site and send it to them.
This isn't a great long term solution, but it does give them some time to
consider setting up their own mirror as you suggest, or explore other
options.

I don't know why 2.2.2, except that this is what they asked for.

(for some reason this 'they' doesn't feel comfortable posing questions or
making bug reports; not sure why).
