Update site is rate limited, please move to github pages

[Pontesegger]

The current update site actually redirects requests to
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bartdag/py4j-eclipse-udpate-site/master/artifacts.jar

This location is rate limited. We use this site in several automated builds @ Eclipse and regularily face download errors, causing all kinds of builds to break. Would you mind changing the p2 location to github pages? This is actually just a setting in your git repo. AFAIKT these locations do not have a rate limit

.

Our project (Eclipse Trace Compass Incubator) regularly faces download problems which cause builds to fail (e.g. patch verification builds). Could you please provide the suggested change to use gh-pages? I would be greatly appreciated.

@HyukjinKwon do you see an issue with moving this project to the py4j org? I am now hosting the Eclipse update site on this project (I would move the project then set the required configuration)?

[bhufmann]

I don't see any issues with that, @Pontesegger do you? As long there is no connection issue like today (e.g. rate limiter).

While you at it, would it be possible to use https instead of http?

[Pontesegger]

looks good to me, +1

[HyukjinKwon]

Oh just saw it. I think we can definitely move to Py4J org.

BTW, I am trying to set up GitHub Pages for Py4J main site first (I think I can manage it around Weds this week). Then, I will take a look around this 👍

[bartdag]

I will take care of moving this repository and enabling github pages on it wednesday or thursday.

I will keep you all posted once it's done.

Thanks

I moved the update site to the Py4J org, configured the GitHub pages branch and I updated the nginx configuration to redirect to the new GitHub page.

@Pontesegger and @bhufmann could you confirm that the update site is working correctly?

While you at it, would it be possible to use https instead of http?

I don't understand this comment, the update site has always been available through https. Do you mean dropping http entirely?

Thanks for your help and the easy to follow instructions!
