Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Transparent P2 mirrors (Was: Why (not) a "Final Daze" in SimRel?)

Hi Carsten,

That would certainly make things more efficient from our side: given a
p2 repo, provide a mirror location for all the artifacts.

Not sure what needs to happen in p2 for that to work, however.
