Re: [orbit-dev] Orbit R20191115185527

Hello Roland,

Let me reformulate the question:
For the platform one can use https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12/ to use in .target for the given SimRel
Do we have something like this for Orbit?

Thanks,
AF

Please advice.

If you inspect the S20191118194249 repository:

https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/S20191118194249/repository/

You will find it is a composite repo of these TWO repositories:

* https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20191115185527/repository/plugins/
* https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops2/S20191118194249/repository/plugins/

This is because when Orbit switched from the old CVS system to the new Orbit Recipes system, not all bundles from the old CVS-based system were re-implemented as Orbit Recipes. So we have a composite repository of the "last good" CVS-based repo and the latest Orbit Recipes generated repo.

The "last good" CVS-based repo has a recent date because occasionally changes are made to it (e.g.: removing bundles for which updates were contributed as an Orbit Recipe, or re-signing bundles whose certificates have expired.)

I hope this answers your question.
Maybe we can consider placing those updated repos on a separate folder
with 'internal' prefixed to make it clear it's not meant for
consumption. With that said, none of those 'old' R repos are actually
displayed on the downloads page itself. We also declare the milestone
builds on this list along with the releases.
