Description Christopher Guindon

We should update the checksums links for older releases on the packaging site. 

We eventually move Eclipse packages from download.eclipse.org to archive.eclipse.org.

For example,

C++ helios/sr2:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliossr2

The checksum for win32 currently links to: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/helios/SR2/eclipse-cpp-helios-SR2-win32.zip.md5

but the actual link should be:
http://archive.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/helios/SR2/eclipse-cpp-helios-SR2-win32.zip.md5

As discussed with Chris earlier today, I'll start by adding a simple mechanism for flagging Package nodes as archived.  When a package is set to archived, it will pull hash information from the archive.eclipse.org server instead of the download.eclipse.org server.

The archiving of nodes will be done manually for now.  Eventually this will be done automatically by the Release Tracker cron job.

This should now work as expected.  I ended up putting logic in the code that figures out if it's an archived package and presents the link appropriately.
