| Oomph Updater not picking up new versions in composite repository [message #1783503] |

I have a composite repository (pointed to by a product catalog I've created) that initially contains a single child that has a custom feature (1.0.0) that gets installed with my product initial install.
I create a new version (1.0.1) of that custom feature and add it to my composite repo as a 2nd child repo.
When I restart my product, after updating my composite repo with a 2nd child that has a new version of my custom feature, the new version of the feature does not get installed by the Oomph Updater.
I can however manually install the new feature version by using Install New Software or by selecting the Update button from the Installation Details window.
Any idea what I might be missing?
What might cause the Oomph Updater to not see a new child in a composite repository that is found by Install New Software?

I don't generally expect a simple restart of a product to automatically update what's installed simply because the update sites have modified content. Depending on the trigger, BOOTSTRAP, STARTUP, or MANUAL, org.eclipse.oomph.setup.p2.impl.P2TaskImpl.isNeeded(SetupTaskContext) returns different results. For BOOTSTRAP and MANUAL it always return true; of course when creating an installation it will definitely be needed and when manually performing (Help-> Perform Setup Tasks) there generally might be updates; this is why you always see the p2 task listed when doing a manual Perform Setup Tasks... For STARTUP, isNeeded returns true only if the installation profile does not satisfy the requirements of the p2 task. I.e., if something that should be installed isn't already installed or what's already installed isn't within the required version range of some Requirement. The isNeeded method never actually checks the contents of the update sites to see if there is something new/different that could be updated; such an operation would be potentially very long running.
So if you really want to force all your users to update their installation upon restart, you should change at least one of the requirements of the product's p2 task to specifically require the newer version of the IU, i.e., specify a lower bound that will force an update to at least that version.
