Hi

probably that's been asked before but I found no answer...

say that I provide a p2 repository for my features, which require
features from other update sites; I tried to use a p2.inf file in my
feature with an addRepository touchpoint, since in the help
(http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_customizing_metadata.html)
I read "The repository will then be available when installing or
updating the profile in the future" but the added repositories are not
available during feature installation: only after the feature is
installed, right?

is there then a way to accomplish that, i.e., specify additional sites
to be used when installing my features from my repository?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

I'm not a p2 expert, but I think you're correct: those touchpoints will only be iin effect after the feature is installed.

One way that might accomplish this is to use a composite repository that includes pointers to your additional repos as well as your actual repo.

Hi Brian

composite repository is actually the solution I've been using for some
time... I was wondering whether there was a more "direct" way...

let's see if someone else speaks :)

cheers
