Test updates is the update site on which we have been publishing our builds leading to 3.4. Its content is not stable.
The Ganymede update site contains metadata for all the eclipse projects but because of timing and other details it does not contain all the IUs that describe the Eclipse SDK product. We will try to address that in 3.4.1. The complete metadata for the Eclipse SDK product is available at http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4/content.jar

Going forward (3.5) we will have the following update sites:
3.5 development
- I-build site containing the recent I-builds. There is no guarantee for the content of this site to be preserved for more than a few weeks. It will be purged without notice.
- M/RC-build site. This site will contain all the M builds of the 3.5 dev cycle.

3.4.x
- build site. This site will contain the latest 3.4.x builds. We will guarantee that it will always contain the latest build. It may contain previous builds, but it may be purged without notice. This site could also contain patches to be applied on 3.4.
- I don't think we need a M/RC build since we don't go through this process in the maintenance streams

Release site (this site is already in the list of sites enabled in the SDK)
- This is the site that where we publish the final builds to. Today it contains 3.4, it will contain 3.4.1, 3.4.2, and eventually 3.5.

Does that make sense to everyone?

Subject:	[equinox-dev] [prov] Differences between the official Ganymede repo & 'testUpdates'

---

Hi all,

Could anybody please tell me why the official Ganymede repo 
(<URL:http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede>) doesn't come with 
the same kind of IUs than the ones served by the repository in wiki 
pages <URL:http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/testUpdates> .

In particular, I miss the 
toolingorg.eclipse.equinox.launcher.[WS].[OS].[ARCH] IUs, that are 
fragments of org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.[WS].[OS].[ARCH] IUs, and have 
relevant touchpoint data to unzip the launchers into the install folder.

BTW, what is the application used to generate the 
<URL:http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/testUpdates> repository (with 
these "enhanced" IUs) ?
Can I obtain the same kind of repository whether by transforming a local 
Ganymede mirror or an "SDK" install folder? Because if I use an official 
Ganymede repo to perform "shared install" provisioning operations, I end 
up with an empty install folder :-(

Thanks!
Benjamin.
