Re: [technology-pmc] Requirements for publishing non-release builds

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

 From the past experience with other Technology projects, e.g. 
Subversive, your update site can't have links to sites outside of 
eclipse.org.
 You can see Subversive project download page as an example how it 
supposed to be done. Quite a pain for the end users in my opinion.

 Eugene
