Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Intermittent p2 failures, best practices

[Kevin Browder <kbrowder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah sorry about the wrong mailing list, I'd mostly seen a few other issues related to this here and figured I'd go for it, but you're right I should have looked for a more appropriate channel.

Thank you for the link in anycase, it's very helpful

Kevin,

Tycho supports official mirrors specified in the p2 repository as well as internal mirrors. They have a user mailing list in case you need further help setting this up.

FWIW, I'd like to take this as an opportunity to remind everyone about the purpose of this mailing list. It's for important communication for projects participating in the Eclipse Simultaneous Release. I prefer having discussions in the proper channels, which allow the whole community to participate (and potentially re-discover answers).
