Adding reference to other repostiories from p2.inf [message #903363]

Hi,

I have a Tycho build which produces a p2 repository. Tycho consumes
category.xml and supports p2.inf to tweak the output repository.

I'd like to add a reference to another repository from my p2 repo. It's
basically about adding thise lines to content.xml:
<repository uri='@{associate.site}' type='0' options='1'/>
<repository uri='@{associate.site}' type='1' options='1'/>
It used to be called "associate sites" in site.xml IIRC.

Can someone point me to some example or documentation or help on how to
achieve this operation using a p2.inf?

Cheers,

Mickael, did you find an answer to this? I'm trying to figure this out as well.

Doing some reading, I don't think this is currently possible. p2.inf can add repositories post installation but you want them added before the installation starts.

From what I understand, the current best solution is to create a composite repository where you add your repos and also the third party repos.

Our current workaround we use consist in modifying the content.jar with
Ant...

You can go and check http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_actions_touchpoints.html

You can associate the repositories by adding to your p2.inf file the next:

instructions.configure=
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(location:http${#58}//siteof interest.test.com/,type:0,name:Site Name,enabled:true); \ org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(location:http${#58}//siteof interest2.test.com/,type:1,name:Site 2 Name,enabled:true); \

I could use this approach when building a product, but p2.inf doesn't work building only a p2.

@Marcos, could you use it to build a p2?

In order to p2.inf be identified and processed by p2. The p2.inf file must be present at the root of the feature and you can build the site using the p2 ant task eclipse.publish.featuresAndBundles (featuresAndBundles). I first created a regular old fashion site with p2 IDE in eclipse and then run the ant task to generate the metadata which includes the touchpoint instructions in the p2.inf.

The p2.inf must be included in the in the build.properties so it can be present in the old fashion update site and processed later by the p2 ant task

Well, I'm using tycho. As I said, the p2.inf inside a product project is working properly but not when building a p2.

I've added the p2.inf file in one feature that is contained in the p2's category.xml with this:

instructions.configure=\
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/);\
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/);

The generated p2's content.xml has this included, so tycho found the p2.inf:

      <touchpoint id='null' version='0.0.0'/>
      <touchpointData size='1'>
        <instructions size='1'>
          <instruction key='configure'>
            org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/);
          </instruction>
        </instructions>
      </touchpointData>

But this doesn't help when I go install the feature from the generated p2. I can't install my feature while I don't include the repository by hand. Sad
