| [platform-update-dev] Investigating some alternative update manager |
All: just a heads up. We are embarking on trying to provide an alternative update UI, and possibly alternative transports, like BitTorent (using Remy's clean room Bittorent implemantion http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_BitTorrent_Provider ), and http refinements (suspend/resume, threading). The fun takes place mostly on IRC in and #easyeclipse We did put a wiki page there : http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/UpdateManager (feel free to comment/add to the page) and the code (early, crappy and mostly non working) is there: http://easyeclipse.cvs.sourceforge.net/easyeclipse/easyeclipse/easyupdat e/ This is a community effort, with the intent to : - provide some working code - be a place for experimentation - provide alternative inputs for any revamp work that could happen in the platform itself. Peace. -- Cheers Philippe philippe ombredanne | 1 650 799 0949 | pombredanne at nexb.com nexB - Open by Design (tm) - http://www.nexb.com http://easyeclipse.org - irc://irc.freenode.net/easyeclipse
