It's a bug in the un-maintained eclipse-update-site packaging type we're using to
aggregate repositories. Those file:// ids are used to create unique identifiers for
categories. Implementation in eclipse-repository packaging type is better and removes
that, but we can't use it yet because we have some tweaks relying on the site.xml
file.
so you are saying these file refs are actually ids of categories not any installable units
?
This has never been on top of the priorities since it's working
well enough and the issue you noticed is invisible to end-users.
well, could we at least make those names just use their already unique file name instead
of the full path and maybe prefix with something like
"category.<uniqueid>" or something?
anyways, good to know what it is ;)
