[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTIS-508) integration stack update sites mix discovery and earlyaccess causing inconsistent update mechanism

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTIS-508?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13122513#comment-13122513 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBTIS-508:
----------------------------------

Since this is ALSO the latest content for the JBT & JBDS development sites (the latest stable milestone = 9.0.0.GA / 4.3.0.Final = latest release too) should you not also update these four /development/ URLs too?

[1] https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/ composite*.xml
[2] https://devstudio.redhat.com/9.0/development/updates/earlyaccess/ composite*.xml
[3] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/development/updates/ composite*.xml
[4] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/development/updates/earlyaccess/ composite*.xml

Are all these manual changes reflected in your updated release guide, so that you'll update BOTH stable and development as appropriate when you release your next Alpha or Beta bits? Can you link to that document here?

> While reviewing JBIDE-20803 I noticed the following:
> {code}
> jboss.discovery.site.integration-stack.url|jbosstools|4.2.4=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/
> {code}
> The stable release for 4.2.4 is stated to point to the stable integration stack url which on surface looks good:
> But there are a few problems:
> 1) why not just point to http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/ and have the above internal detail url composited in ?
> 2) the actual composite behind it right now is http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/4.2.3.Final/compositeContent.xml which links in http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/4.2.3.Final/compositeContent.xml (our main sites should never composite earlyaccees since then when users install supported versions they suddenly will now also have access to earlyaccess.
> #1 is mainly just to reduce the number of updatesites actually necessary for users to work with
> #2 seems to be something inherent broken in the IS build since earlyaccess shold *never* be aggregated into the release site.
> Any earlyaccess connectors should explicitly point to a *separate* earlyaccess site.
> I would also have expected that the discovery site with the discovery plugins was kept *separate* from the actual update sites to avoid any coupling between these.
