Hi,
my GlassFish v3 offers a list of preconfigured repository locations:
(When installed from "sges-v3-unix.sh", downloaded from Sun):
dev.glassfish.org
contrib.glassfish.org
dev.glassfish.sun.com
contrib.glassfish.sun.com
release.glassfish.sun.com
(It's a little bit different when installed from "glassfish-v3-unix.sh", downloaded from java.net):
dev.glassfish.org
contrib.glassfish.org
stable.glassfish.org
contrib.glassfish.sun.com
release.glassfish.sun.com
Questions:
(1) Why the difference?
(2) Can somebody please explain the meaning of "stable", "release", "contrib" and "dev" the way they're used by GlassFish?
(3) If I only want security updates, which repositories should I enable? If I leave everything at default, I don't get any updates at all (are there no security updates since GlassFish Release 3.0?).
When I select a "dev" repository as "Preferred", and deselect the other repositories, I get several updates. But are these just security updates, or do they contain unstable changes?
Thanks
Chris
