RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede Must Do's (#13, #15)


Getting download sizes into features will actually turn out to be rather difficult.
Kim pointed out that the problem is that we are signing our jars.  This will change their size, and you can't go and modify the feature.xml after the feature has been signed.

This means that plugins and features would need to be split into 2 groups, the plugins signed first, then the features modified with download sizes.  
And we won't be able to compute sizes for feature jars since they will change after signing.

I don't know what the format of the site.xml is, but it would be much easier to store download sizes there rather than in the feature.xml

I was going to say that if you wanted automation here someone should nicely ask their neighbourhood pde.build commiter :)


But it seems there is already some noise around this and I just somehow didn't notice:

I agree that this is a weird must if it's not automated because it will make
it likely for some projects to ship some of their builds with stale download
sizes.  If we can't get automation, I wonder if it would be better to
specify that only the GAs must have the correct size, and that for all other
releases it's better to not specify than to specify an incorrect size.
