Update site build replacing qualifier [message #998511]

Basically when I build my update site the first time it works fine. The versions of the features used are just 1.0.0.qualifier.

However when it does the build it replaces the '.qualifier' with the actual concrete value.

When I try to build the update site again at a later time it complains that it can't find the features between the version range [previous concrete qualifier, previous concrete qualifier], obviously because the qualifier has moved on!

It doesn't happen all the time but it is happening consistently enough to be a big stumbling block in what should be a smooth update process. When it does complain about not being able to find the correct version I have to go into the site.xml and replace the concrete qualifier with '.qualifier' again.

Any suggestions what could be causing my problem?

you are referring to legacy update site, not p2 repository, right?
