Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Cleaning up Eclipse Marketplace S

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509929 and have a rough prototype for doing such checking automatically.   The checks include loading the repo, ensuring that the IUs really exist in that repo, and trying to do a resolution against each version of Eclipse (ensuring that the IUs will really install into that version of Eclipse).  But I've been busy since then and have not had time to progress further on it...  And I'm concerned that there is not enough resource on the foundation side of things to actually follow up on any work I do in this regard...  My desire was to add a page to the installer where users could choose additional marketplace-based functionality to install in their IDE, but that's a lot of work as well, and I'm not keen to provide such a feature when the quality of what's listed in so poor...

If think that Ed Merks already proposed something to identify such bad entries (as a side effect of getting info about p2 IUs of all marketplace entries). 

Ed, do you confirm? It's something that run on a regular basis, right?

My understanding is that this process only applies to bad citizens who have marketplace entries with non working p2 repos.

Ok, fine then.

Is there already something in place to automatically list erroneous p2 repos? Or can we simply check the entry download stats to figure out which ones to drop, so it's only a database query to run or something like that?
