Re: [corrosion-dev] Removing Corrosion from SimRel 2020-09?

Hi all,

I'm considering whether it makes sense to have Corrosion part of SimRel, and what is the added-value of being in SimRel for Corrosion?
IMO, the vast majority of Corrosion users install it via Marketplace or use the "Eclipse IDE for Rust Developers" from EPP; in case of Marketplace they then get updates by the Corrosion p2 repo, in case of EPP, via SimRel.
EPP allows to consume directly other p2 repos than SimRel, so I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better to just stop pushing Corrosion to SimRel (that's one less step to do in case of new release) and instead just make the EPP package reference Corrosion p2 repo.
I believe this would reduce the maintenance effort and give Corrosion more control over what it ships to EPP without intermediary steps. And, as mentioned above, I don't foresee it degrading the user experience in any way.

Does anyone have concerns with that?

 + 1 from me. If simrel had the fileextension search (like marketplace) in some way I might have  seen this as a reason to keep it but without it Rust in simrel doesn't make any sense to me.

If not, I'll start taking those changes in SimRel and EPP soon after 2020-06 is released.

Cheers,
