Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] The end of an era: shell access.

[Doug Schaefer]

FWIW, I used my shell access to poke around the downloads area to find things 
in our massive collection of p2 repositories in the download area. sftp worked 
just fine for that. Except maybe for the manual 'find' you end up doing to find 
things in directory trees.

Cheers,
Doug.

 for release engineering for something like 15 years, so this would affect me 
to the extent that I would be dropping support for the PTP project. If the

release process that all projects use, and in the interim provide the resources 
to convert manual release processes to CI-driven ones. If they do this, then I 
might reconsider, but it would depend on how difficult things become.

Hi Everyone,

  As some of you may know we have traditionally provided a limited set of 
committers with shell access to 
build.eclipse.org,
 and all other committers having restricted shells.

For the last couple of years[1][2] we've been working to reduce that number as 
far as possible, and the time has come to finish the process.

Effective August 28th 2019 we will be transitioning all committers that still 
have a regular shell to our restricted shell.  You will still be able to use 
SFTP and SCP to interact with the downloads and archive areas(but we suggest a 
job on your Eclipse CI instance!)

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Webmaster.

-Matt.
