Dear Didier,
The choice (imposed by Eclipse?) to only have a
short term URL for the latest milestone is very tough and
damaging. The usual scenario is to initially communicate on the
latest milestone (yes, we are proud of the latest feature, and
happy to communicate on it), and then this communication remains
over the time. However, the latest milestone become eventually
the non latest, meaning now the URL is not anymore valid.
In conclusion, it’s not anymore
possible to communicate (i.e. archival materials such as
slides, articles, tutorials, etc.) on the latest milestone…
I do not think this can be acceptable, and need a
deeper discussion on the topics, such as we can have sustainable
URLs (why not putting directly on
archive.eclipse.org? Or to manage
redirect? Or?). In the meantime, this imposes us to only
communicate about <
gemoc.org/studio +
version> to keep sustainable the information we
provide.
All the best,
benoit
Hi
As asked by Eclipse webmasters, we're
moving
our older milestones and releases to archive.eclipse.org
instead of
download.eclipse.org
(in order to decrease the overhead on the mirror
servers)
We will keep on the main download server only the latest
milestone, the latest release, and the latest nightly
build.
Obviously, we'll update the links on the release note
pages of each of these milestone/release but if for some
reason you have some direct links (e.g. in a research
paper, in a tutorial) you may have to update them.
Examples of URLs:
- link to a release note:
- link to an artifact but using mirror for faster transferts:
- link to the same artifact on the source
server at Eclipse: (may be slow for non US)
- link to the same artifact when it will be
archived (i.e. on next milestone)
Best regards
Didier
