[Closed] Prevent Installer from Update [message #1748620] Fri, 25 November 2016 06:15 Go to next message

Hello all,

I made a custom installer build. During installation of a product some external tasks need to be installed. The problem now is, that during installation of those tasks the installer updates itself and by doing so my customization are gone.

Is there a way to prevent the installer from updating itself or can you tell me where I can find the installer update-site in the oomph-project so that I can build a own update site?

Thank you

What kind of customizations disappear? If you have to install a task implementation into the installer it must of course update itself...

The value of the system property oomph.installer.update.url will be used as the update site for the installer's self-update. If that's not specified http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/products/repository is used as the default. I'm not sure that answers your question...

To be precise I'm talking about the pending changes I commited to the gerrit. Maybe I'll add some changes later on that are of no relevance for a public installer.

As far as I understand it the SetupProperty 'oomph.installer.update.url' should point to a update site fr the installer. I was asking if one can find this update site in the oomph project repo so that I can set up a custom installer update location

You can locally do a Tycho build to build an update site using the External Tools launchers. You'll need to have Maven installed. The update site build for the installer is in git/org.eclipse.oomph/products/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.installer.product/target/repository. Note that you will not see each project's "target" folder in the workspace viewers because the .project file filters that folder out.
