| Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] How to test "Check for Updates" |
Remind me, is there a way we can test "Check for Updates" before the updates are actually in the spot that folks installed from to begin with?
That is, how do I take e.g. an EPP package (e.g. our Parallel Package) and test what will happen for Help > Test for Updates
once Juno SR2 is final?
If I put http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/ in Available Software Sites, 'Check for Updates' still doesn't see anything new.

[cross-project-issues-dev] Concluding SR2 RC1 warm-up repository
Sent by:

Sorry, fell asleep last night :) when I should have been sending out this notice.
But, we are done with SR2 RC1 warm-up repo.
Remember its "staging" location is
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/
Besides testing that repo, be sure to check the repository reports ... looks like a few regressions for required files, signed jars, etc.
http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/juno/reporeports/
In addition to testing only that single repo, be sure to test it as a "composite", since eventually it will be added to .../releases/juno
as a child repository. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_FAQ#Test_staging_as_a_pseudo_composite
Don't forget to test "update" scenarios (some of which need to wait for EPP repositories to be ready, if they are not already).
Recall that there is no "promotion" of this repo. It will simply be "left alone" for about a week ... until Juno SR2 RC2 +0.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Juno/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#SR2
As a "warm-up", we don't expect this to be a true "release candidate", but please approach RC2, RC3, etc., with the attitude that those will be true "release candidates" suitable for adopter acceptance testing, etc.
Thanks,
