Equinox/p2/Meetings/20090126

Agenda / Minutes

• Remember to focus on M5
• Discussion about the supporting the update from 3.4 to 3.5
  • Eclipse has never been able to support such a scenario. UM even had problems updating to a point release.
  • The consensus was that we would not be able to update from 3.4 to 3.5
  • Reaons invoked:
    • Because the update from 3.4 to 3.5 is running the 3.4.2 code
    • bundles.info and other files have moved form URL to URI
    • the rollback would be problematic because it is unclear if 3.5 can be writing 3.4 format.
    • Transport having reliability issues
    • Overall it seemed that there would be very little benefit for a lot more work, when in the end all the majority of plug-ins are changing
  • Approaches have been discussed
    • Create a 3.4++ all of p2 from 3.5 and then do the update
    • Change the readers and writers from 3.5
  • This issue will be revisited for 3.6
