| [platform-dev] Transition of p2 Repositories from 4.13 to 4.14 |
|
The transition period between the point time when one release
cycle shuts down (2019-09/4.13) and the next one begins
(2019-12/4.14) is always kind of problematic. At some point I
need to prepare the Oomph setups for the release and the start of
next cycle, and given 4.14 is "open" it's an awkward transition. In particular, at this point in time
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.13 is empty (except
for categories, but nothing is in those categories) so that's in a
useless state. And while
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.13-I-builds still
exists, it will be deleted soon, so references to it will need to
change to the released 4.13 site (and it contains very recent
builds that are likely newer than the actual release build which
makes it feel unstable to me). Eventually a repository like
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12/R-4.12-201906051800
will be created for the 4.13 release, but that doesn't exist yet
for 4.13. I imagine it will be created soon so that it can be
mirrored properly before the release date. So question for the platform release engineers: What is the
schedule for creating the 4.13 release repository in its final
permanent location?
