[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Re: No update site for 3.5 externall

[John Arthorne <eclipseng@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The eclipse/updates/3.5 repository is available, but it no longer uses a 
content.xml file. There is more information on using the mirroring 
applications here:

http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_mirror.html

Note you'll need to use the Eclipse 3.5 mirroring application due to 
changes in the site format that aren't compatible with Eclipse 3.4.
