Dead link on download.eclipse.org #26

Just a heads up, the link to Orbit Restructuring Plan on https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/ returns a 404. |

I think when I archived the old orbit repo and made orbit-simrel's link on this pages the organization's default discussion: https://github.com/eclipse-orbit/orbit-simrel that the link got broken and that one needs to link here: Though at this point in time, it probably better to link to this: https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-orbit/discussions/20 because that's current and contains the link to the older restructuring plan. @PatrickTasse Thanks for reporting the issue! |

:-( Those files are managed on the now archived git repo by editing https://github.com/eclipse-orbit/orbit/blob/main/releng/website/downloads/index.php and running https://ci.eclipse.org/orbit/job/orbit-sync-html-files/. |

So you would need to set this to false temporarily in order to fix it: That sounds like a bit of a pita... 😱 |

Probably best to move that directory to a new git repo - it was only added to that repo relatively recently as it used to be edited by ssh'ing into download.e.o. |

I can do it at some point - but not today. |

Is there missing information in this section on the main organization page? https://github.com/eclipse-orbit#update-sites As suggested there, the following is the primary place from which to get current Orbit content: https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/orbit-aggregation/ This documentation describes the general structure of such an update site: https://eclipse.dev/justj/?page=tools#p2-anatomy If there is more you need to know, I can try to help. |

Hi thanks for the answer. It's more that what Google linked me to was this page : Both of them contain the same annoying 404 link to discussion #49. They should both point to your very nice link : https://github.com/eclipse-orbit#update-sites I usually go to orbit to get my R200XXXXX url every year or so when I update my eclipse dependencies. I'd have been fine with the new update site url, it's actually better than the old one because it honors the 2023-12 simrel name in its url, meaning less maintenance of my pom (which had both orbit and main eclipse release aligned). However I kind of hit a wall of these 404 errors, and unfortunately I had to delve pretty deep into "issues" to reach the right link. ** So I believe that the sentence : Please see the Orbit Restructuring Plan for details on how and where to consume Orbit bundles going forward. This page provides access to the historical builds based on Eclipse Bundle Recipes. Is a really annoying and non informative sentence. I suggest Or something similar. |

I see, yes, when we moved the org discussions from the old repo to the new repo the links broke. I'd have to un-archive the old repo it to change anything and then re-archive it. There's just so much to do. 😱 |

Rather than jump through hoops to promote content from an archived repository, I just modified the file with a simple sed script.
