[p2-dev] publisher

[Jeff McAffer <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ben and I have been working on getting the publisher back up to speed on 
p2 1.0.  It is getting close in terms of code and Ben has been doing a 
mess of tests.  I'd like to get this on the plan for integrating as soon 
as possible.  Maintaining the various changes in a branch is a real pain. 

The publisher and metadata generator can cohabitate but I would like to 
move over the update site, reconciler, build and Eclipse touchpoint to 
use the new approach by M2.  To support that, I suggest putting the 
publisher in right after M1.  For the curious, you can get 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher from the p2 repo and then load the 
"publisher_start.psf" project set to get branches for the various 
changes to other projects.  Note that at this very minute there are some 
issues in the code but those should be cleared up presently.
