Sometimes, if it was really urgent in the past, I double-checked with Denis and the webmasters in order to make them aware that there may be a download peak. On the other hand, the peaks are not that high (especially for a March release) than they used to be.
And yes, I would definitely vote for the RC2a version (without aeri).
I believe 24 hours is normally more than enough, though the
problem in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561125 is
still a problem so sooner is probably better than later. I feel
that it's safe to assume that RC2a versus RC2 will be good because
the difference is really very trivial and I've confirmed that the
Java, JEE and RCP packages installed from this basis via the
installer start up fine...
Thanks Ed for confirming. I will do the downloads this evening (Ottawa time)
Note that if you're going to transform the EPP repo into a
simple repository, you should get the binary/features/plugins folders copied up into the 2020-03 folder in preparation as well.
I will place all the binary/features/plugins files in place too, leaving just the artifacts and content files to be updated Wed morning.
I will ensure that the composites are retuning 404 in time for the release too.
Thanks,
Jonah
Thanks for all the heavy lifting!!
Regards,
Ed

Hi folks,
When do the files need to be in place for
release day? I assume today is better than tomorrow.
In that case we need to have RC2a vs RC2
decision ASAP. If I don't hear anything further I will be
making the RC2a files the R files.
