Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only support I know is in MirrorRequest#perform,
but it is quite rudimentary. Essentially if the repository is local, it
prefers a descriptor in canonical form (not packed/zipped), and if the
repository is remote it prefers a descriptor in non-canonical form. It
doesn't have any further smarts about which non-canonical form is available.
Also, the pack200 processing step does a check for the unpack200 executable
so it will quickly abort if unpacking is not available on the client.

I seem to remember that someone was working on adding to support to our
download manager to favor downloading pack200'ed artifacts over canonical
ones.
Did that ever made it into the code?

Thx
