[cross-project-issues-dev] Kepler SR2 RC4 repository is complete, again

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

(re)start your engines! 

The repository has been re-created with
new Platform (re)build 

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance/

For the record, the process was documented
in bug
428822 for anyone who wants to
know the nitty gritty of how I spent my Saturday morning. :)

Potential rebuild for p2 bug

Based on feedback from the Planning
Council, I will do a "rebuild" of the aggregation repository,
once the fixed version of p2 is available and verified. 

I thought I'd be explicit that my plan is to do the sort of rebuild where
the input from all other projects is simply taken to be what already exists
in 'maintenance' repo, ... 

So, if anyone was thinking of "sneaking in" some other change,
that won't really work, and you'll have to explicitly state you want to
be included to get a fix for a bad bug  (and get Planning Council
approval, etc.). 

I would expect the new maintenance repo to be available some time over
the weekend, but so far don't have an detailed plan. 

Thanks,

Hi,

This is a heads up that a pretty bad bug has been discovered in p2 which
can leave an installation in a non startable state 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=428575).

This does not happen on every install. It only occurs when the import 
wizard triggers the remediation, but it is bad enough that I have been
discussing with the RT PMC the possibility of spinning a new build.

We will keep you posted ASAP, on what we decide to do.

Regards,

Pascal
