Create p2 site mirror without references to origin sites [message #1796774]

Hello anyone,

I want to setup a updatesite mirror for eclipse updates, using the p2 mirror app org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication.
But when I install features from my mirror, eclipse adds the origin updates to the "Available software sites".
Can you please tell me how I can cut off this links to origin sites when mirroring them?

Thanks in advance
Markus

I don't think you can do this directly with the mirror application itself because I see no options for that. The problem is that this information is embedded in the touch point data in directly in the content metadata. For example, like this:

      <touchpointData size='1'>
        <instructions size='1'>
          <instruction key='configure'>
            org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/releases/latest,name:Latest Eclipse Release,enabled:false);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.org/releases/latest,name:Latest Eclipse Release,enabled:false);
          </instruction>
        </instructions>
      </touchpointData>

The content metadata is simply copied to your mirror and then of course all the touchpoints, including the addRepository touchpoints are copied. You'd ned to post-process the repository's content metadata to transform or delete the addRepository touchpoints. :-(

If I look at JRebel (non eclipse) p2 repo it does not use configure addRepository touchpoints. However, I see these repository elements:

  <references size='2'>
    <repository uri='http://update.zeroturnaround.com/update-site/' url='http://update.zeroturnaround.com/update-site/' type='1' options='1'/>
    <repository uri='http://update.zeroturnaround.com/update-site/' url='http://update.zeroturnaround.com/update-site/' type='0' options='1'/>
  </references>

Is this what need to be changed? Is this documented somewhere?

You'd need to change these too, if they are present. Does the mirror application actually preserve these?

I replaced the repository uri and url with no effect on the additional sites URL. Yes they are preserved by the mirror application.
