P2 Director dependency at recent version [message #1808538] Wed, 26 June 2019 12:40 Go to next message

Hello!

In an Oomph setup configuration I am able to add dependencies to a P2 Director. Is it possible for a P2 Director dependency to be always the recent version? I'm only able to set a version range. But when the installed dependency is in that range it counts as fulfilled. But I want it to be the most recent version. Is that possible?

Thank you

No, in the absence of version range restrictions, p2 will generally install the latest available version and you control what's available via the repositories that you specify. So if you should focus on specifying a repository with the most recent version. For example, EMF provides the repository https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/builds/release/latest which always composes the latest released version of EMF. After all, even if you could specify somehow the most recent version, you'd still have to make sure it's available in one of the repositories you specify. If p2 doesn't install the latest version automatically it's most likely because something else you've installed or are installing requires (restricts) to an older version range.

Thank you for your answer. But when I add the p2 repository url in the "Install New Software" dialog, it apprently "knows" what feature has a newer version. I was just wondering...

Yes, at that point it's loaded the repository and of course can show you information specific to the loaded repository. In this dialog there is a checkbox "Show only the latest versions of available software" so of course with that checked, you see the latest and you will install exactly the version that you choose, necessarily the latest if those are the only ones you are displaying.

Do you have some reason to be concerned that for some random reason an older version will be installed instead of the latest from among all the available versions? It is my experience that when I run (or rerun) the p2 director task, if there are updates (newer versions) available for of any of the required IUs, they will be installed, without me needing to specify that in some way.
