Hi,
My build is running fine now, testing, signing, so all great. The next step is promoting. I copied the promoting step
from the cdo build but I don't seem to get it working. It reports can't find component.
org.eclipse.emf.teneo.releng.buckminster. Which is possible as this component is not present in the workspace, but I am
not sure what a good setup is. So I hope that someone can give some more info.

What does this promote (copy.group) do? Does it do anything more than copying the features/plugins?

This is part of the build.xml:
<target name="promote" depends="init.build.properties">
<echo message="Promoting" />
<buckminster command="perform" workspace="${buildRoot}/workspace">
<cmdargs>
<arg value="org.eclipse.emf.teneo.releng.buckminster#promote" />
</cmdargs>
</buckminster>
</target>

then I have this in the cspec:
<cs:public name="promote.site" actor="ant">
<cs:actorProperties>
<cs:property key="buildFileId" value="buckminster.pdetasks"/>
<cs:property key="targets" value="copy.group"/>
</cs:actorProperties>
<cs:prerequisites alias="action.requirements">
<cs:attribute name="site.p2" component="org.eclipse.emf.teneo.site"/>
<cs:attribute name="clear.site" contributor="false"/>
</cs:prerequisites>
<cs:products alias="action.output" base="${teneo.download.area}/updates/${teneo.update.site.type}/ "/>
</cs:public>

The Buckminster build uses the releng component as the top component (referenced from the cquery during import). The
cspec of this component contains the topmost actions of the build (i.e. promote) so it's essential that it is brought
into the workspace..

No, that's exactly what it does. It copies the update site (the prerequisite) to its final location. Unless the
prerequisite exists, it will be built.

Hi Thomas,
As it only copies as you say. So this will overwrite the content of the target update site location, i.e. only the last
version of the plugins/features are available?
