We would like to move to a model where we build all our bundles

doable to me...as it should be possible for the platform releng to
simply read/retrieve the relevant (filetransfer) bundles from out
of the repo created by our builder....rather than what we are
doing now with map file entries...which is clumsy, error prone all
around, and costly for us.
If the platform switches to p2IU map file entries, then they would be
able to get either specific versions from a repo, or the latest from
the repo ... the URL would still need to be stable, but doesn't have
to be as specific (with composite repos) as the curret HTTP GET. ex:
[email protected]=p2iu,id=org.eclipse.emf.ecore,version=,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
You could even provide a composite repo specifically for platform
consumption. Promoting a build for the platform to use would just
mean mirroring it in.
Sounds great. Thanks for the clarification.
Scott
