W.r.t. the Callisto update site question: At
the recent Planning Council meeting in SF, David Williams volunteered to
organize an update site for Callisto as a whole. However, I’m sure he
would appreciate help as well as information about any limitations or known
issues, such as those mentioned below. Thanks,

Discussion
Topics
-------------------
Rel Eng.:
- Should our
features be changed to point to a new update site?
Currently all features point to the http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.0
which
is not useful. We can't collocate 3.0, 3.1.x and 3.2 updates in the
same
site. Update does not provide a mechanism to install new a new
startup.jar and eclipse executable.
-
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123165
- On a
related note, what is the plan for the Callisto release with respect
to
update jars. Currently, we copy update jars and update the site.xml
for
other projects that request to be included the platform update site.
Is
there going to be a master update site for Callisto or will there be a
more
distributed approach?
