Mirror local archive site from command line? [message #485014]

Hello,

I posted some original questions (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=153956) in the Newcomers forum, but I think my current questions belong here.

(Copied from other thread):

I have got the P2 director looking at a local site for fetaures, but I'm now running into a problem. If I point the remote site url at

file:/path/to/emf-site.zip

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_<version>.jar
    -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
    -command mirror
    -from file:/path/to/emf-site.zip
    -to .

Then it tries to open the file

/path/to/emf-site.zip/site.xml

So it doesn't seem to understand a zipped site. That's fine, but if I unzip the site manually and pass the p2 director:

file:/path/to/emf-site-extracted

Then it analyses the features ok, but when it comes to install them it bombs out with a file not found error. This seems to be caused by the plugins in the extracted site zip being .jar.pack.gz files, but the site.xml refers to the plugins as plain .jar files. Any ideas how to fix this?

Ok, so I tried to use the p2.director instead of standaloneUpdate to do the install, and while I get a little bit further, it still runs into the same problem:

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar
   -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director 
   -repository /path/to/my/extracted/emf/site.xml 
   -installIU org.eclipse.emf.feature.group

Starts off ok with it saying it's installing the first feature, but then spams a mass of file not found errors that again seem to be because it's only looking for .jar files and not the actual .jar.pack.gz

I tried modifying the extracted site.xml to change the references in that from .jar.to .jar.pack.gz but then when i run the command line about it says it cannot find the features as all!

Help, this is driving me mad - is it a bug?!
