RE: [platform-update-dev] Call for short-term help
|
Hi all,
I might selfishly draw attention on bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132388 for which I
suggested a fix (in bugzilla comments). If this fix were to be accepted,
then that would be one more Install/Update bug to close!
Thanks and good luck to all investigators/commiters,
Romain
