B3 Aggregator + Helios Site [message #535450] Sun, 23 May 2010 17:24 Go to next message

Hello

Obviously, B3 aggregator is used to assemble the Helios milestone site.

I try to mirror the entire Helios site using B3 aggregator and I often
run into problems during the validation phase.

Why can't I mirror the Helios site using the B3 aggregator but the
entire thing was created using the same program running the same
validations? How can the site be assembled successfully if there
are invalid constraints preventing the mirroring?

Besides that, I found that it is very temporal whether mirroring is
possible or not:
- today = validation error in the gmf.examples area
- Sat a week ago = validation error in the xtext area
- Tue a week ago = mirroring possible
- Sat 2 weeks ago = validation error in the modisco area
....

What's up?


Michael

Helios is a moving target, and as Dave Williams can testify there is
almost always some contributor that has some problem/conflict.

These issues are gradually solved until a release ready Helios site is
produced.

I don't know if good helios repos are kept somewhere.

I think the main reason is that what you find at releases/helios is an aggregate that contains older versions along with
the new ones. The b3 aggregator creates a repository that is validated. The composite however, is several such
repositories. Put together, they no longer represent a 100% coherent repository.

So, how should someone that wants to use Helios repo in their own
aggregation work around this issue?

Well, one solution is to use the p2 mirrorApplication, but that's not my
favourite solution as this seems to be more or less a wget for repos.

A cool feature for the b3 aggregator would be to mirror only the newest
artifacts without having to specify version constraints for each IU
(similar to the p2 install dialog where one can hide old versions).

Another help would be regex exclusions for IUs (e.g. exclude *javahl*
instead of 12 IUs containing javahl).

Using filters is something that has been discussed - esp. "include only
latest". Not sure if an issue was logged for that...

It already does this. I haven't seen the errors but my guess is that they relate to features that has been removed in
newer versions.

You can always try aggregating the latest contribution to the composite, i.e.

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/201005210900

That sounds like a bug. Can you please try with the latest version
(unless that's what you have already) and if this problem is still
present, enter a bugzilla to Modeling/EMFT.b3/aggregator?

Thanks,
Thomas Hallgren

Hello,

I tried to mirror the final helios p2 site with the b3 aggregator.

I created a .b3aggr file with one contribution, mapping the helios url:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/

Running this, I get this error:

I think the main reason is that what you find at releases/helios is an aggregate that contains older versions along with

Well, one solution is to use the p2 mirrorApplication, but that's not my
favourite solution as this seems to be more or less a wget for repos.

A cool feature for the b3 aggregator would be to mirror only the newest
artifacts without having to specify version constraints for each IU
(similar to the p2 install dialog where one can hide old versions).

Another help would be regex exclusions for IUs (e.g. exclude *javahl*
instead of 12 IUs containing javahl).

Using filters is something that has been discussed - esp. "include only
latest". Not sure if an issue was logged for that...

It already does this. I haven't seen the errors but my guess is that they relate to features that has been removed in
newer versions.

You can always try aggregating the latest contribution to the composite, i.e.

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/201005210900

That sounds like a bug. Can you please try with the latest version
(unless that's what you have already) and if this problem is still
present, enter a bugzilla to Modeling/EMFT.b3/aggregator?

Thanks,
Thomas Hallgren

Hello,

I tried to mirror the final helios p2 site with the b3 aggregator.

I created a .b3aggr file with one contribution, mapping the helios url:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/

Running this, I get this error:

Loading all repositories

Where is my mistake?
