Hi all,
I see Tycho has had supports for pack200 stuff for awhile.
I'd like to use it in order to reduce the time to fetch
artifacts from a
p2 repository built with Tycho.
I had a look at integration tests and there are a few things I'd
like to
understand before just copy-pasting stuff.
* Is there any documentation already available?
No, there is no documentation beyond the ITs. It's supposed to be
self-evident but feel free to capture this explanation in eclipse
wiki
if you find it useful ;-)
From an end-user POV, I don't find it "self-evident".
I'm tryng ot set it up at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Pack200 .
Your corrections and improvements to it are welcome.
* Do this plugin apply to an
eclipse-repository directly ? If yes, it
the tycho-p2-plugin:p2-metadata necessary ?
No, tycho pack200 support operates on individual bundles, not on
repository.
Ok, so how does it happen that the pack200 jars go into repository?
Is it "magically" performed by the eclipse-repository packaging? Ie,
eclipse-repository consumes and exposes pack200'd artifacts when it
find them?
