Re: Generating Helios .build files (was Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Be sure to stay on the Helios train ...)

Just cvs location of files has changed. Format is the same. 

One thing to clarify, though. The format and method of doing these 
aggregation builds might well change in the next few milestones ... which 
I only say now, since you mentioned doing work for the existing stuff. I 
don't really know what work you mean, but if it's a quick job, such as 
half a day, it'd be well worth the effort to get everyone running smoothly 
as quickly as possible .... but ... if it is a weeks worth of work or 
more, you may want to wait until we know more about the build system 
changes, or if there will be any. If there are some, the basic ideas would 
be similar (each project provide a p2 repo, gives some info or data for 
the repo and a common, aggregated discovery site would be produced). The 
overall effort for projects would be less ... but I didn't want you 
personally spending a week with one set of assumptions to find out a week 
later they'd changed. 

Thanks,
