Technical Details of Contributing to Indigo
- As documented in OTBuilding the automated build includes creating a deployable p2 repository with these properties
- signed
- with pack200 files
- accumulative meta data per minor release
- categorized
- Figure out the exact semantics of contribution definition (see Helios/Contributing_to_Helios_Build):
- We will contribute our features to the Programming Languages category.
- Assuming our contribution will look approximately like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <build:Contribution xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:build="http://www.eclipse.org/amalgam/2008/build" label="Object Teams"> <contacts name="Object Teams Build Team" email="stephan@..."/> <features id="org.eclipse.objectteams.otdt" version="2.0.0.v20110111" repo="//@repositories.0"> <category href="helios.build#//@categories.1"/> </features> <repositories location="http://download.eclipse.org/objectteams/updates/2.0/" label="Object Teams"/> </build:Contribution>
