Re: [epp-dev] EPP Indigo RC4 Packages (Incubation designation)

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK now I notice/remember that the pulldown menu near the top of http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php
lets you specify other OS's to download. I often download several packages for other OS's on (1) a machine with faster network access and/or
(2) to download packages to distribute offline at tutorials, etc. and save network bandwidth there.
So, I'm ok with that. It might still be nice for e.g. Windows/Mac users to NOTICE that there is a special Linux C/C++ download available. Advertizing.

Can we still update the details page to include what it says it includes? (indication of WHICH features are the incubating ones).
And maybe put the very large "(includes Incubating components)" on the next line? in smaller font?
The title of the package just doesn't jump out at me like this.

I guess I still feel discriminated against being the only package branded with the BIG CAVEAT when we're not the only one. And it's NOT a BIG caveat in my opinion.
I understand the mirrors populating thing, though.

Because it's only released for Linux ... I guess one could envision
downloading it on other platforms (I'm thinking especially host Windows
for a Linux VM that perhaps doesn't have network access).  What do you
think, Markus?
