[cross-project-issues-dev] Orbit to change repository URL

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We in Orbit are considering (will, unless
there's quick complaints) to
change the URL of our p2 repositories
produced with our builds. From
ending with "updateSite" to
"repository".  I'm 99% sure this won't
effect anyone, since I'd think anyone
who currently uses it, uses our
"p2 maps" generated during
a build; hence you may not even know it ever
was "updateSite"  :)
and you'll just get the change automatically when
you get a new p2 map file.  This
would effect only "future" repository
URLs ... we not changing anything that
exists.

Normally, I'd not propose such a change
this late in a cycle, but since
fairly sure no one is using it directly
in build scripts, I think its
reasonable. But since it is so "near
the end", thought I'd send this
note to cross-project for greater visibility
so you would have a chance
to say if this would be disruptive to
your project. If so, please
comment in bug 310766.

The  motivation is we are making
good progress in Orbit, thanks to
Gunnar Wagenknecht, in being able to
use the Orbit repository as a
runtime target, so ... that old style
"upateSite" terminology just
really gets on my nerves. :)

Thanks,
