Re: [ptp-dev] PTP custom build and update site
It's pretty simple really. You can (use 'export' to) create the update site files, and put them on a web server, then have your users use the URL in the update manager (Help>Install new software).
This NASA site http://babelfish.arc.nasa.gov/trac/jpf/wiki/devel/eclipse_plugin_update
shows the basic structure (altho the remainder of the article is specific to putting things on their wiki/site.)

This is old but is a tutorial i did a while back that includes how to make a simple update site:
starting at page 62
http://cdn.oreillystatic.com/en/assets/1/event/27/How%20to%20Write%20Your%20Own%20Eclipse%20Plug-ins%20Presentation.pdf
It *ought* to still work, let me know if it doesn't.

Hope this helps.

I have made a few custom patches to a couple of the PTP subprojects (org.eclipse.photran and org.eclipse.remote) and I would now like to host an update site with a custom release of PTP including my patches.

How would I go about doing this?  Easy as pie?

I did find this resource:
but it is geared toward the official PTP releases requiring hudson access, etc.

(If you want the background...)
We are in the process of releasing our own plugin, which is dependent on PTP and requires the custom patches. (In one case, the patch has been merged into the master git repo, and in the other case, the code is just in my local git repo.)  I would therefore like to host an update site with our plugin, plus the custom version of PTP.
