Hi everyone,
At the moment it is expected that Rust/Corrosion will be removed from
eclipse.org/download imminently.
I think we need to decide whether EPP is the place we build (only) the packages on
eclipse.org/download and have some other place to build packages like Rust that are distributed through other channels.
For example, I think going forward we are asking for trouble having corrosion in EPP input repositories because it means that a package can pull in some deps from corrosion, even though they are available in simrel. e.g. corrosion's p2 repo that is in EPP input contains lsp4e, mylyn, gson, etc. This means that unless someone continue to ensure that the corrosion p2 repo has exactly the same version of each plug-in as simrel, we have situations where the EPP package can be built with artifacts not coming from simrel.
As a specific proposal, I would suggest that at a minimum that the non-simrel repos are hidden behind the profiles of the
non-eclipse.org/download and that the EPP release builds don't activate those profiles.
(PS better still would be to get Corrosion back in simrel and keep it as a first class member of the Eclipse IDE community :-)
