Automatic Remote Index Update [message #1754295]

Hi,

I am facing the issue, that our redirected oomph index seems to not be updated on installer launch.
In detail I am observing the following:

1. I start the oomph installer with a index redirection to our own products and projects and run one installation of product X with project Y once.
2. Afterwards, I close the installer, restart the PC, whatever... and change the project definition in the remote index files.
3. Then I start the installer again and I will get the unchanged project definition, respectively, the first version I previously installed once.
After some trials, I realized, that the index is cached in the home folder in .eclipse or .p2 repository. I am not entirely sure. After deleting both folders, I will get the correct remote index.

So why does this happen? I would expect updating from the remote index should be done on every launch of the installer, right? If not, is there any workaround to do so?

Best Regards,
Malte

The cache in ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/cache includes not just the file but also a corresponding *.etag (generally the ETag the server provides in the response header, or the Last-Modified from the response header, if the header doesn't provide an ETag). The installer initially loads without etag checking (so loads the cache), and then reloads with etag checking. This should generally update the cache, but if the server is providing neither an updated ETag nor an updated Last-Modified for the file being downloaded then the cache will look up-to-date and will be used. Perhaps-Doomph.setup.ecf.trace=true will help show what's going on in your case...

Thanks. We will check. We are basically pointing the index to an apache2 served directory.
We will check what is not provided, thanks for the property pointer.

I just checked what is returned in our case. For files the ETag as well as last modified property is correctly returned by the server.
The ETag seems to be a uid.

And when the file is changed, the server returns a different ETag for it?

In the end, if I'm to fix some problem, I'll need a way to reproduce the problem...

Ok, verified.
It works with the ETag. I just can think of an issue with odd index references.
