Description
Currently, projects use lots of different URLs for their project update sites:
I'll attach a screen shot from Galilio SR1 (after the site had been contacted once, to retrieve content metadata. To give an idea of the variety, here's the ending segment of a few
updates
releases
e3.4
update-site
3.5
2.5
1.0.1/stable
milestone
project=search#search
Some of these look like project specific errors, but the point of this cross-project bug is that there is no common pattern.
So, first of all, it looks pretty unprofessional, and hardly "coordinated".
Second, there's an issue of if it should be version specific or if there should just be one URL per project, and that one URL give access to any available updates?
I'm not sure of the right answer, but wanted to open this bug for comment and suggestions so we can do better for Helios.
