Good news for us :P
I would/want to use it if we enable slide planner mode on it so the
dependencies becomes *deterministic*. They aren't now.
If we reverse the current
process so:
1. we create a "dependency" site with Tycho in the traditional way
2. we create a .target file relying on this site
Then we would simplify the way we handle our 3rd-party dependencies, and
provide a target platform that would be usable by PDE at dev-time.
But I think there is an issue we miss with a .target file, example:
Component as depends on component jmx, what .target file do we provide
for it? The same target file as we deliver to deltacloud (which depends
on as) ?
And then I would like to get target files that I can apply in eclipse
- but the current one is just too big/slow to work.
The big/slow issue is IMHO
impossible to avoid for our big product.
Using an updatesite would not help on that either afaik.
It
won't probably help on performance, but it will help in dependency
management.
