Hi Thierry,
At the moment we put the latest official release in the "latest"
repo, regardless of the major or minor version number.
So, let's say we include the "latest" repo in the PHP EPP for
Oxygen.1. When Photon is released with (probably) PDT 6.0 then users
running Oxygen.1 will be suggested to update to PDT 6.0.
However, this may be an issue if we don't keep minimum version
constraints carefully in PDT. Let's say PDT 6.0 relies on some
features of DLTK or Platform that was introduced in Photon. If we
don't mark this in the PDT plugins metadata then upgrading PDT 5.0
to 6.0 in an Oxygen installation would cause problems.
From this perspective it might make sense to have "latest" repo per
major version or per SimRel release, i.e.
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/5.x
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/6.x
or
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/oxygen
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/photon
This would be the safer approach, but will have some additional cost
in terms of releng efforts.

Hi Kaloyan,
if you add the "latest" repo to the PHP EPP package, will it
contains latest updates for a given branch (for example
5.0.x patches when the user installed the 5.0 release) or
will it automatically update to newest PDT release +
maintenance branch?
In
other words, would it be interesting to "split" http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/latest into http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/5.0/latest , http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/5.1/latest ,
... ?

Hi,
As we have discussed [1], we are wanted to have a 5.0.1
maintenance release with the official Oxygen release. So, I
promoted the "5.0.1-nightly" repo to "5.0.1" and updated the
"latest"[2] composite update site to point to the 5.0.1
repo.
The list of all fixed bugs in 5.0.1 is available here [3].
I think it is a good moment to discuss how to push such
maintenance releases automatically to PDT users. Those who
have registered the "latest" [2] repo would get the
notification popup for the available update. But this repo
is not registered in the PHP EPP package and these users
have to add it manually.
Should we just add the "latest" repo to the EPP package? Any
concerns about this?

Eclipse is probably best known as a Java IDE,
but it is more: it is an IDE framework, a tools
framework, an open source project, a community,
an eco-system, and a foundation.
