What's the difference?

Just curious. What was the intended difference between the groups:
qdn.public.devtools
qdn.public.installation
qdn.public.newuser
qdn.public.photon
qdn.public.porting
and
qdn.public.qnxrtp.devtools
qdn.public.qnxrtp.installation
qdn.public.qnxrtp.newuser
qdn.public.qnxrtp.photon
qdn.public.qnxrtp.porting
?

Redundancy is a reliability feature common in embedded systems work.

Cute. But this isn’t a matter of redundancy.

When should I choose to post to one group over the other corrisponding group?

The qnxrtp groups were originally created to handle the QNX RTP download (v
6.0-ish).
We since changed the product (no longer called RTP), we replaced these
groups with more generic naming

ie. qdn.public.installation vs
qdn.public.neutrinoversion6momentics.installation

:slight_smile:

In short, the RTP groups are historical, and will probably be removed.

Debbie, PLEASE DON’T REMOVE THEM!

You have no idea how incredibly value old information is.

If you must, mark them as read only.
