We would like to move to a model where we build all our

the platform releng to simply read/retrieve the relevant
(filetransfer) bundles from out of the repo created by our
builder....rather than what we are doing now with map file
entries...which is clumsy, error prone all around, and costly
for us.
If the platform switches to p2IU map file entries, then they would
be able to get either specific versions from a repo, or the latest
from the repo ... the URL would still need to be stable, but
doesn't have to be as specific (with composite repos) as the
curret HTTP GET. ex:
plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ecore=p2IU,id=org.eclipse.emf.ecore,version=,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
You could even provide a composite repo specifically for platform
consumption. Promoting a build for the platform to use would just
mean mirroring it in.
Sounds great. Thanks for the clarification.
