Martin, regarding #13, 

The jars must be conditioned for packing
in the project's regular build process.  If they are not conditioned
before submitted to the Ganymede build, the output will just be regular
jars, instead of the  bandwidth friendly pack.gz jar files.
Implementing a digest on the update
site is easy to do and improves the user experience tremendously when downloading
updates, so why not :-)  Digests are implemented independantly in
each update site.

See

Subject	[cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede Must Do's (#13, #15)

Hi all,

when reviewing Ganymede must do's for a recent DSDP PMC meeting,
I came across two issues or questions:

* #13 - pack200 and digesting:
  I tought that the pack200 stage and digesting are actually done
by the
  Ganymatic when copying the projects to the common site. Is it really
  a must-do that projects pack and digest their own update sites?

  It certainly doesn't hurt, but is the argument really to save download
  bandwith or should the argument be that projects ensure their
  bits don't get corrupted by pack200 when it's done later by the
  Ganymatic?

* #15 - declaring plugin sizes in feature.xml
   Are you aware that currently, a bug in update manager inhibits
   showing the declared sizes when a digest is made - which is
   required as per #13:
   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163406
  
   Also, there is an open bug asking for releng / build process
   to automatically compute the plugin and feature sizes:
   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75285
   I think that when #15 is a must do, there should be some
   automation around computing the sizes.

Any comments?
