[cross-project-issues-dev] Mars M1 and Luna SR1 RC1 are available

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's like Christmas in Summer! 

Mars M1 Simultaneous Release Repo:


We have "turned on" the repository
at 
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars
(built in to most distributions). 

Mars M1 EPP Packages: 

The EPP packages for Mars M1 will be
available soon, if not already, from 
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php

Note that as I am writing this, the
'index-developer' page will just redirect you back to main page ... so
be sure to look closely before you click download. I hope by the time you
read this ... or within an hour or so, the index-developer page will be
"live". 

I might also note that while it is technically
possible to update from some Luna installs to Mars M1, we recommend "starting
fresh" with a Mars pre-packaged distribution, since the cross-release
update is not well tested by most projects.

Luna SR1 RC1 Packages: 

There is no single repo to use to update
EPP packages to SR1 RC1, but the EPP Packages themselves will be available
from a separate tab at that index-developer page; 
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php


Enjoy, and thanks for the early testing.

And, thanks again to all of you who
have worked hard to make these packages available for early testing.
