Equinox/p2/Hosting repositories
Hosting a p2 repository on a web server does not require any specific capabilities from the server: no servlet, no PHP, nothing. Just the ability to serve files,.
In order to make a repository available on a server, simply copy the files produced by the export/build of the feature or the product on the server. Typically a repository looks like this, but there could also be other files.
content.xml (or content.jar)
artifacts.xml (or artifacts.jar)
plugins/
<files>
features/
<files>
binary/
<files>
Producers of repositories may be interested in reading the recommendations on repository retention policies.
