Re: [equinox-dev] Announcing availability of Eclipse (4.4) and Equinox L

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This has been discussed in many bugs and
PMC meetings, but in short, the answer is that the Eclipse Platform is
not only for those doing work at Eclipse (some adopters can or are still
happily using CVS :) and it is desired to "minimize change" unless
there is a substantial reason to. But more important, the Eclipse Platform
itself is not the place to "deliver everything Eclipse committers
need" -- that would end up being a pretty big distribution and complicate
"packaging". 

But, there was a new EPP Package (the
"Packaging Project" :)  created called  "Eclipse
Standard" that includes Git. 
That, and other EPP packages, for Luna
M2, will be available in about 2 weeks. For the M1 version, see 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php
and it is described in detail at 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-standard-44/lunam1

I installed the Luna M2 right now and got curious: 
What is the reason for CVS still being delivered with Luna instead of Git
since it is the official source container of Eclipse now?

Cristiano
