Re: [equinox-dev] OBR

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We currently do host an OBR repo with
the major releases.   Don't remember the URL but the required repository.xml/zip
file is there for Callisto and Europa.  The OBR client code may be
interesting but our strategic direction is p2.  For the most part
p2 has (or can be made to have) the same functionality as the OBR client
but goes further towards solving the wider range of problems we see in
the Eclipse provisioning space.

I am all for supporting the use of OBR
repositories in the sense that some people will make their function available
that way.  Given the p2 work however, it would be more interesting
(to me at least) to write an OBR repository adaptor for p2 than to use
the OBR api.  Further, I hope that eclipse projects will feel comfortable
making their content available as p2 repositories so that the Eclipse user
community is not put in a position of having to get many different provisioning
clients.

In short, we in p2 would very much like
to have your interaction and participation in making a provisioning solution
that solves your needs.

Subject	[equinox-dev] OBR

Hi,
I'm wonder if any work has been done within Eclipse to deal with OBR 
repositories, and if so, how can I get access to that. If not, and if no
one has a better idea, I'm planning to start an IP-zilla to get the 
Apache Felix OBR approved since we will want to map that kind of 
repositories in Buckminster and also provide OBR's as an alternative to
update sites in the spaces project.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
