incomplete mirror of Eclipse RAP P2 repository [message #675706]

X-post & follow up to eclipse.p2

Hello,

I would like to create a local intranet mirror of the public available
Eclipse RAP P2 runtime 1.4 repository.
(http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.4/runtime)

I used the eclipse mirror applications as described here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring

But the created P2 repository is not complete. There are plugins and
features missing, so I can not work against the local mirror. Using the
public RAP mirrors everything is fine.

Examples of missing content:
- feature org.eclipse.rap.runtime.sdk_1.4.0.20110524-0847
- plugin org.eclipse.rap.ui.forms_1.4.0.20110524-0847

The process of running the mirror applications shows no error or
warning. (http://pastebin.com/QQdcpFdA)

Where is my mistake? How can I create a complete working mirror?

Best regards,
Lars

You might have better luck using the p2.mirror task instead.

<p2.mirror destination="file:${repoBaseLocation}/eclipseSDK" ignoreerrors="true">
	<source location="${eclipseRepoURLt}" />
	<slicingOptions includeOptional="false" includeNonGreedy="false" latestVersionOnly="true"/>
	<iu id="org.eclipse.sdk.ide" />
</p2.mirror>

You have more control over the slicing options compared to the command line applications. Without the slicing options, it should mirror everything. If not, you can play with both the slicing options, and the iu element to include items it seems to want to skip.

eclipse/eclipse \
-noSplash \
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner \
-Declipse.p2.mirrors=false \
-buildfile mirror_file.xml

See http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_repositorytasks.htm for a full list of options.

Hello Paul,

thank you for your answer.

I tried multiple runs and found, that the missing jars are changing for
a unknown reason.

We have a very restrictive access to the outer internet. So I tried the
same thing on a different computer with a direct connection: everything
is fine. All artifacts are mirrored correct. So I think the reason
belongs to our connection.

But why is there no log output that some artifacts were skipped? This is
very dangerous, I think.

Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,

not being a p2 expert myself, I cannot comment on what could go wrong
during the mirroring. But maybe it helps to know that the RAP repos are
p2 composite repositories lately which aggregate the contents of their
subdirectories.
So if you're interested in 1.4 RC2 for example, it should be sufficient
to mirror only http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.4/runtime/RC2/.

Does that help?

Regards, Ralf

It looks like I have a local network problem. One of our
proxy/scanner/securitywhatever is blocking different artifacts.

I tried it at home and everything works fine.

But I don't like the fact, that there is no error/warning in the log,
when something is missing.

Regards,
Lars
