    - #### getEffectiveUpdatePolicy

          String getEffectiveUpdatePolicy(RepositorySystemSession session,
                                        String policy1,
                                        String policy2)

      Returns:
        The policy with the shorter update interval.

    - #### isUpdatedRequired
