Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Stable URLs for latest Orbit builds

[Eike Stepper <stepper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm afraid that, after 2.5 years of successfully providing these convenient "latest-X" composites for Orbit content, I 
must stop this service soon. The current composites are ot empty, but will not be updated anymore. See 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=499035 for the reasoning.

I'm all for providing a similar service directly from the Orbit project and you're invited to leave your thoughts on 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=499341 .

Cheers
/Eike
