Sorry, I should have been more clear.  Updating summary.

Comment 2 Pascal Rapicault 2008-04-30 16:10:33 EDT

This sounds like a good idea.

Comment 3 Jeff McAffer 2008-05-03 08:01:50 EDT

we chose JAR format to allow for signing etc.  since repos are handled entirely by p2 code and users should never have to manage them, its not clear why we would allow tar.gz files.

I was thinking I could use an SDK tarball as a repository.

Comment 5 Jeff McAffer 2008-05-05 20:48:26 EDT

ah, my bad.  you are talking about whole repos zip'd up not just the index files.      A bit more detail in the description would be good ;-)

Removing milestone. We don't have plan to work on this.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Clearly not much interest in this one.
