Description Denis Roy

The Member Distros program may require some updates for Mars.

Since Members can pick-and-choose which packages they mirror [1] we need to ensure that all the packages abbreviations (jee, standard, automotive) are listed for members. As a concrete example, there are no distros shown for the PHP package:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/luna/SR2/eclipse-php-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz


We should also examine the algorithm that download.php uses to determine if a file is a package, and how it looks it up in the distros, just in case there are file name scheme changes.

Also, do we extend the Distros program to include the installer?

For now, I suggest we just leave the distro program focused on the packages.

This is done.  Member Distros are working well for Mars.

Since the Installer is now the default download, I think we should make it part of the member distros program.

Can this be done for SR1?

For members to pick up the distros and replicate them on their servers, I need to know where they are located on our download servers.

Bug 477920 suggests download.eclipse.org/oomph/epp/mars/R1/eclipse-inst-*

Is that their permanent home?

I have started taking requests for distros for SR1, and each member distro must re-conform for each release.

So now is the time.

I think you need to ask Eike this question.

I guess what I'm getting at -- is that we typically don't ask the members to pull in new packages except for three times per year.  Are these the Oomph installer files that we will live with until next February?

Comment 11 Denis Roy

Or, will we be asking the Members to pull new files once in a while when the Eclipse installer is updated?

This is long gone.
