This bug is a follow up of bug 338366. Here are the next steps after Holger and I reviewed the p2 based packaging: - RTP products must be installable entirely via p2 on all mainstream OS - Each RTP package is in fact cross-platform. - The build must deploy automatically to download.eclipse.org - The build should produce a single p2 repository. Right now there are 2 separate repositories - The build should deploy the p2 repository to download.eclipse.org We agreed to use a shell script executed after the maven build to take care of: - Create for each package a tar.gz archive suitable for Unix OSes (linux, macos) where the shell script files have the executable permission setup. Setting up the exec permission and creating the tar.gz is a workaround for a tycho limitation that is worked on here: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/TYCHO-566 - Deploy the archived zip and tar.gz packages where they can be downloaded. Also nice to have: - Tag git with the version number for the build. (not sure how to setup git to do that from the hudson machine)
Committed: - a single repository for both products. - update to the 7.3.1 build of jetty pointing at the latest N build of eclipse-platform. - post-process the build with the shell script post-tycho-release.sh it will change the permission of start.sh and remove the native launcher 'eclipse' from the linux 32 build of both products. It then tar.gz and zip this build. - the jetty plugin to sign the bundles and features. It is enabled with the profile 'build-server'. It needs to be tested on hudson.eclipse.org obviously unfortunatly that server is down at the moment. Changed on the hudson build: - added a new step to the build to invoke the post-tycho-release.sh script. Still to do with Holger's help: Decide where we want to move the archived products and the p2 repository produced by the build.
OK, the hudson build completes and deploys the p2 repo and product archvie together on the rtp download's folder: http://download.eclipse.org/rtp/incubation/updates/3.7-N-builds/0.1.0.v20110310-2058/ Still to do: Use a composite repository to point to the latest http://download.eclipse.org/rtp/incubation/updates/3.7-N-build and the same for all the other build types. Make some html pages to reflect that.
OK, post-tycho-release.sh now generates the composite repository: http://download.eclipse.org/rtp/incubation/updates/3.7-N-builds/ I added another simple and ugly index.html page here: http://download.eclipse.org/rtp/incubation/updates/ to navigate to the different build types. Still to do: purge the old N and I builds I would say. Making those composite repos and index.html pages look nicer would be a welcome enhancement :)
Ok purging was tracked with bug 344684 and is resolved. This long going bug should be marked as fixed now.
