It seems that the only thing that is left to be done is to extrapolate non-versioned URLs that point to the latest version to all projects and then create yet another composite p2 repo using these URLs. This could be called Continuous Release and could be complementary to Simultaneous Release which happens only a fixed number of times a year.

No, there are URLs that do not contain version segment and that was the whole point of the bug that I mentioned. Please see the bug and the wiki which describes the new URLs: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites#Non-versioned_repository_URLs

Here, the idea is more to have a very static and cross-version URL for the latest release of Eclipse release train. Some projects (SWTBot, Thym and most I've worked on) do have such URL that links to the latest version, and it's actually handy for users and documentation writers to use this URL instead of a version-specific one. -- Mickael Istria Eclipse developer at JBoss, by Red Hat My blog - My Tweets_______________________________________________ ide-dev mailing list ide-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ide-dev _______________________________________________ ide-dev mailing list ide-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ide-dev
