Jonah,
            Normally I regenerate the catalogs as soon as I see your
              announcement, I test that one or more packages can be
              installed, and then I commit the changes generally many
                many hours ahead of time.
            For this generation process I only need the update site
              URLs, not the actual products.  I see right now there is
              no M3 here:
            https://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/2024-03/
            
            I imagine a significant number of people also just use
              the update sites to update to the new EPP versions.  So if
              that's possible, to produce, that would be a good thing. 
              I don't know how I could accommodate partial builds with
              only a subset of architectures.
            
            I've disabled this job because if SimRel M3 is made
              visible then M2 will no longer be visible, and with only
              EPP M2 visible, that will make it impossible to install
              anything because of some of the strict version ranges.

            I will be generally available today and into the evening
              to accommodate late coming progress.  As soon as there is
              an EPP M3 update site, I could proceed...
            
            Regards,
              Ed

              Hi everyone,
                
                
                We still don't have a 2024-03 M3. Starting
                  yesterday the EPP build seems to have stopped working
                  reliably. Something has changed in the behaviour, and
                  I have not tracked down where exactly yet.
                
                
                I have created a staged build that has the top 5
                  products for the x86-64 arch here 
https://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/staging/
                  I did that because this smaller size of build seems to
                  have worked its way through the system. (Only 20
                  archives needed to be produced instead of the typical
                  70)
                
                If we can resolve it soon without restructuring the
                  build we may still have an M3. Otherwise I am going to
                  start working on restructuring the build (in the way
                  Fred suggested) so that each job only builds a
                  smaller portion and we stitch it all together at the
                  end, but realistically that won't be complete for a
                  couple of days.
                
                
                
                
                
                @Ed Merks I know in a few
                  hours you normally make the catalog ahead of the
                  release at 10am Ottawa time. We have the option to
                  just publish the 5 products for now, but I suspect it
                  is less disruptive to publish nothing than a partial
                  build. Thoughts? I will be online again in the morning
                  Ottawa time.
                
 
                
                
                
                
                
                Thanks
                Jonah
