Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] [epp-dev] Does SimRel need to include EPP site (circular dependency)?
|
I can only recommend we do the least disruptive thing possible.
Firstly because in these corona times, it seems involvement is
lower than normal. And secondly because when ship a next release
we want people to be able to update to it, so the question of
whether EPP's sites will be found by existing 2020-12
installations is relevant. These installations point at
https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest which should
therefore continue to compose the EPP updates.
So again, I can only recommend caution and consideration before
we redesign the whole system on whims and assumptions.

I think he's
solving 1 instance of this problem, but not the whole
class. And the fix has some drawbacks (eg more p2
repositories necessary to install certain packages).
The repo would still be present in EPP, it's just that
this wouldn't contain the EPP artifacts anymore which would
be in a separate repository (eg
https://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/latest/
) enabled in EPP by default. So Check for Updates from EPP
packages would still work and EPP could more easily include
non-SimRel-repo artifacts like JustJ.
