Mirroring Helios-Updatesite with B3 [message #652801] |

Hi @ all,
I want to mirror the whole helios site.
Doing this I get a mirror that there are several features, which cannot be installed at same time. I don't see what features are meant.
So my question is, if you can send me a mirror-model-file, with which I can mirror the complete site.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Markus

Helios was released in June last year. Since then, there's been an SR1 and SR2 service release. Each of those three
releases is a complete and coherent repository created by the b3 aggregator. The helios repository that is available at
this URL however:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
is a composite repository that contains all three releases and that has some disadvantages. It's a) not coherent, b)
takes 3 times as long to download, and c) contains a lot of old stuff that you most likely don't want. The repository
XML (available as the one and only file that you get by appending /compositeContent.jar to the URL), looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?compositeMetadataRepository version='1.0.0'?>
<repository name='Helios Milestone Repository'
type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.Co mpositeMetadataRepository' version='1.0.0'>
<properties size='2'>
<property name='p2.compressed' value='true'/>
<property name='p2.timestamp' value='1277295885098'/>
</properties>
<children size='4'>
<child location='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/helios/'/>
<child location='201006230900'/>
<child location='201009240900'/>
<child location='201102250900'/>
</children>
</repository>
The thing to pay attention to are the child elements. They are relative to the composite URL which means that the
smaller and coherent SR2 repository can be found at:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/201102250900
The same apply to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6
HTH,
Thomas Hallgren
