because RC1 < SNAPSHOT It would be better to have the bundle qualifiers as v+number or something similar so that we don't run into problems where the newer bundles aren't installed.
hm...typically we don't expose people to SNAPSHOT so I don't think this should be a large issue, it just came up this time because of the build issues we have been having on hudson due to things like https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365727 I don't forsee our changing this anytime soon but I'll assign to hugues for his thoughts hugues?
Sorry about the mishap Kim. As Jesse mentioned, I did the quickest build I could come up with and uploaded it when I found out that I could not build on hudson: this was really a one shot and I did not foresee the consequences. Also note that it is rare that we end-up using an 'RC*' build of jetty in our p2-repositories. Pretty much as rare as uploading a SNAPSHOT. We almost always end-up with a v${Timestamp} qualifier which is lexicographically higher than both SNAPSHOT and RC*. Nevertheless if we ever end-up uploading such a build again we will work on a more suited qualifier. Note that it is a noticeably more difficult operation as tycho enforces that the qualifier matches the pom.xml last segment of the version: we in fact end-up having to set the maven's version for the entire project to generate something else than the SNAPSHOT.
marking wont fix as we don't plan on being in this situation again, if we are we will do our best to honor the intent of this issue though thanks! jesse
