[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=13112938#comment-13112938 ] 

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

Max, the question of why there's IS content in /earlyaccess/stable/luna/ but not /updates/stable/luna/ is basically the same as what I logged in JBTIS-510. If the content has all graduated out of EA, there should be no IS available from an /earlyaccess/ site. All that would remain there are the JBT/JBDS EA sites. 

But also, for 8.x we split the URLs used for JBT and JBT IS, so we would have:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/compositeContent.xml for JBT and 
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/integration-stack/compositeContent.xml for JBT IS

But of course we can merge the IS content into /stable/luna so there's ONE URL for all of JBT, JBT Central, and JBT IS, rather than having a separate one for the IS content.

> 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.
