Agenda

• Discovery metadata - remaining issues
  • We definitely need to make sure that the IU being installed has branding similar to the thing being selected in the catalog.
  • Steffen mentions that it is planned for a regular repository to be made browsable in the discovery UI.

• index.p2
  • Ian presents the work he has released to allow for repositories to be found in a certain order. Some discussion followed and bug reports have been opened:
    • Document the index.p2 format https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=302911
    • Making sure that the download of the file can be cancelled
    • Do we need to specify an option to allow to continue on fail
    • Work with releng team to get the index.p2 generated
    • Verify when we are hitting the server
    • Publisher needs to create a default index.p2 file
    • What happens when an error occurs loading the index.p2

• Do we need another sort of IU
  • Pascal discusses how concepts from target platform, discovery catalog entry, install descriptor are more of the same thing: one or several repository with several IUs to install from each.
  • Do we need a new sort of IU that would cover for this case in multiple places of p2 (director, UI, etc)/

• Engine changes
  • Simon is held back on other things. He will talk to DJ and John to see when/if they can release this
