Description
Konstantin Komissarchik
Any thoughts on this? This is a major roadblock to including eGit in at least one potential adopter's distributions. Another related issue is that there is apparently no method for getting access to old releases. For instance, the repository listed on the "downloads" page (http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates) only contains the 1.1 release. I found no method for download the 1.0 release. Update: I went to the project summary page (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project.php?id=technology.egit) and there found links for release-specific repositories. The main downloads page should be updated to include those references as well. Ping... Is anyone from eGit team listening on this inbox? (In reply to comment #2) > Ping... Is anyone from eGit team listening on this inbox? I suggest you raise the issue on the egit-dev mailing list. You may consider to use the p2 mirror task [1] to copy the p2 repository. I added a link to the download page [2] pointing to the wiki page [3] explaining where to find older releases. [1] http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Ant_Tasks#Mirror_Task [2] http://www.eclipse.org/egit/download/ [3] http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ#Where_can_I_find_older_releases_of_EGit.3F Thanks for the response and for updating the downloads page. Regarding the zipped repository, using the p2 mirror tool is a short-term workaround, but it isn't a viable solution in general. It is a more cumbersome process for adopters and other offline users. Also, when downloading a zipped repository, a single checksum will tell the adopter whether they got all the binaries exactly as produced by the project. More glitches are possible when mirroring an online repository. We consume a number of Eclipse into our distribution. So far, eGit is the only project that hasn't provided a zipped repository.

Yes, EGit releases are available in zipped repository format from https://eclipse.org/egit/download/ |
