[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PDT 1.1 Integration builds update site

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You mean an update site in a zip? Is that more useful than an update 
site online? (p2 gives you multithreaded downloading so you can pull 
from multiple mirrors at the same time. It's faster to do an install 
this way than by downloading a zip. However, if you plan to roll out the 
same install many times, you might prefer a one-time download you can 
distribute. If that's the case, add such a request to the bug; my update 
site builder system already creates these archived update sites, but 
doesn't (yet) publish them as there's been no request for them... until 
now. :)

That said, my system is not yet hooked up for PDT builds, so bear with 
us while I help the PDT guys port their build system over.
