Description Willian Mitsuda

I couldn't find in EPP download page any link to see what are the contents for a certain package.

I'd like to be able to know for a certain build (e.g. a nightly build of ganymede) the build IDs of all packages contained on it.

Actually, the only way is to download it and see it yourself.

If you are going to http://www.eclipse.org/epp/download.php, click on a build ID (e.g. 20080225-0440) or the 'Success' link, you will see the index page with a list of all packages, the checksum files, etc.

Example:
http://build.eclipse.org/technology/epp/epp_build/34/download/20080225-0440/index.html

Then you should click on the package (e.g. cpp, java, rcp, jee,...) in the first column to download the EPP build logfile. In this logfile you will find a list of features and their versions that are used in this specific build.

Example:
Replacing feature version of org.eclipse.platform with version 3.4.0.v20080111-9B90Eo2EfGNwohRaikkQZoM6z-4T
Replacing feature version of org.eclipse.cdt with version 5.0.0.200802192156
Replacing feature version of org.eclipse.cvs with version 1.0.100.v20070824-7C79Do9EI99iARCW01911
Replacing feature version of org.eclipse.epp.usagedata.feature with version 0.5.2.N200802202215

Does this help?

Hi Markus, thanks for the information!

Almost there! I had some difficult to find that because it is a build log. Another problem is that you have to download the log file, and it does not show well on Windows notepad because I guess it uses UNIX line breaks.

It would be nice to have a well formatted, dedicated HTML page displaying the contents.

But this workaround should work for now.

Fixed, see bug 220335

When downloading the logfile from build.eclipse.org, it shouldn't open in an editor any more. Typical web browsers are able to show text files with Unix new lines correctly.

I don't know if this is really that much important for now. IMHO feature versions and build details are interesting to developers and not end-users - and most developers are satisfied with the build log.

Thanks for your comments - I always appreciate all ideas on how to improve the EPP web pages.

Very good! Thanks Markus, it should work for now.

You can take this bug as a very low priority enhancement for future.

With the availability of the new packages website (available for testing from http://phoenix.eclipse.org/packages/ ) I tend to close this bug.
Further discussion and feedback about the look and the content of this site should be done in bug 224729.

OK, let's follow up in there.

Then I am setting this to 'fixed'.
