Software update fails due to site.xml in the updatesite [message #382244]

I am having problems with p2 software update not detecting available
updates from my RCP application. The updates are working fine for an
update site generated with PDE product export wizard, but fail if I am
using an update site generated using buckminster and p2director. The
problem appears to be the presence of a site.xml file in the buckminster
generated site (it is not present in the pde exported version). Manually
removing site.xml fixes the problem.

I am generating a update site following the setup in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Buckminster/Examples/Building_an_Upd ate_Site and
then extracting the resulting site and running
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator via p2 director
to add the p2 information. If I delete the site.xml file from my update
site then the RCP application will install updates properly.

I've tried to remove the site.template action from the update site's
buckminster.cspec but that results in filenotfound exceptions when running
the export. Is there a way to adjust the cspec to remove the site? If not
I guess I can delete it in the script after I unpack the buckminster
generated site.

Thanks

It turns out that the problem I was seeing was not related to the
site.xml. The actual problem was being caused the p2 installer saving
repository locations from previous installs, and using them in addition
the to specified repository.
