Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] SimRel Naming

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mélanie,

That sounds fine to me, except I'm not sure what you mean by 
"downloads".  The EEP packages p2 repos are currently in 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/* so 
probably that one should be 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/YYYY-MM; 
but the release train repos generally reference the corresponding EPP 
repo, so mostly the public doesn't see the EPP URL (though it's used the 
Oomph's Product Catalog).   Also http:/download.eclipse.org redirects to 
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ which already points at the latest 
release's EPP downloads via some magic.   So probably we should/need 
only worry about the p2 repo URLs and not about download site URLs; they 
use magical redirection via the eclipse.org host which is also what 
provides the public facing URLs for accessing downloads.

I fear we are so quagmired by naming that technically important 
considerations such as which URLs are composites and which simple repos 
are composed by them are lost as secondary details.  Yet these are the 
fundamental deliverables as well as the vehicle by which they are 
delivered to the public.

Thanks so much Mélanie for helping lead this herd of cats!

Regards,
Ed
