Re: [eclipse-mirrors] Callisto simultaneous release

[Agust Hlynur <hostmaster@xxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if the Callisto folder on rsync://downloads.eclipse.org
is supposed to be a complete Callisto.
I have tried taking an eclipse platform runtime binary (3.2M5a) and
using my mirror of Callisto to update it to a full Callisto.
Unfortunately, there are a few files that the update manager can not
find and because of that the update fails. I have checked and these
files are not on rsync://downloads.eclipse.org (so not merely a local
problem).
The files that I know of are::

plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html_2.1.0.M20060303-0920.jar
plugins/org.eclipse.wst.html.core_1.1.0.v200602270930.jar

I also tried updating using the main Callisto site and everything worked
there.
