[mdt.dev] Re: [mdt-ocl.dev] Confusing Update Sites

Hey folks,

Starting from 3.0 OCL has its own update site because this is a strong recommendation (if not a requirement) for the new Athena releng. See comments 3 and 4 to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289595. UML2 and UML2-Tools still use the communal site because they continue using the old build procedure.

Cheers,
- Alex.

Hi Adolfo

Modisco certainly has its own site.
Papyrus does not list a site.
The communal mdt update site is just UML2, UML2-Tools and old OCL.

It seems that with MDT becoming many rather than just three projects a communal update site was not tenable.

However since UML2 has no separate update site and both UML2 and OCL are 'core' components, I think OCL should revert to the communal site, then users will find the communal site, find good content, and quite possibly never even find the other site, particularly if we stop advertising it.

Once you've figured out how the mdt/ocl update site is maintained by the new releng, perhaps you can revert to the mdt site and perhaps manually add all the missing 3.x entries and update the project meta-data.

Ed,

While working on releng, I realised that just OCL has its own update site. The point is that no other MDT component has one, so I'm not sure if it's a problem of the MDT/OCL component, otherwise it's a problem of the other components. Do you have any information/newsgroup link about "The migration of components to use their own update site" ?

P.S: Releng progress: I committed some releng stuff last friday, but unfortunately it's not still working ;P. I'll retake the task during today, let's see if we get a functional bucky build at the end of the day.

Cheers,
Adolfo.

The migration of components to use their own update sites creates confusion for users.

MDT/OCL may be found on
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/3_0/updates/releases/
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/updates/releases/

Is there anything we can do to make the old release on mdt/updates more obviously inappropriate?
