Re: [eclipse-dev] Fwd: I-builds contains multiple builds

Hi

It seems that the original purpose has been lost and that with milestones becoming less significant, it needs restoring.

My understanding is that N-builds are regular, typically nightly, builds of the state of the art and that I-builds are an intermediate/interim/integration state for some significant advance. Since I-builds are occasional and significant they deserve to be kept till the next milestone.

The platform seems to be using I-builds for the traditional purpose of N-builds but persisting as for I-builds. Integrators are forced to download far too often.

Hi folk,

(resending to hopefully more appropriate list?)

I was wondering why the I-builds (likewise for older versions) contain multiple builds in them and not just the latest?

What is the use case for a consumer wanting either a mix of of I-build versions or not the latest one?

(PS I am asking, because I want to change CDT builds to track I-builds now that Milestones are not really what they used to be, and I am also just interested. A similar question exists for me about the simrel release repos containing multiple versions too, but that also seems less important going forward as it is less likely to happen.)

Thanks,
Jonah
