Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] support for separated source bundles released

[Jeff McAffer <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pascal.

As for location, where does it go now?  Who writes it?  Who reads it? 
I'm not suggesting it should be beside bundles.txt but am curious to 
know why it should not be there?  Colocation seems logical on the 
surface (and depending on the answer to the questions above).

As for naming, bundles.txt should just be "bundles"  The fact that it 
currently happens to be a text file is implementation detail that may 
change over time.  Correspondingly, the source.bundles.txt should likely 
just be source.bundles
