Hi all,
I've got a 3.4 application that was using classic updates.

I've switched to 3.5, and am now adopting p2.

I build and export my feature-based product (including metadata
repository). I'm then unsure about how updates should work.

I'm aware that the deploy stage creates a repository. If I update the
software, and re-do the export phase an updated repository is created.

If I open a deployed application, and select 'Check for updates', it
doesn't find anything ('there is nothing to update'). If I explicitly add
the repository (via the update section of preferences), no updates are
found, but if I 'install new software' and clear the 'group items by
category' option I can see the updated features. If I then select 'next',
my app correctly establishes that it's actually performing an update but
not an install, but then fails.

The failure indicates it can't install the updated features, because my
application depends on the existing versions:

===========================
Your original request has been modified.
"Combined Maritime Analysis Platform plugins" is already installed, so
an update will be performed instead.
"Debrief-specific plugins" is already installed, so an update will be
performed instead.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Combined Maritime Analysis Platform plugins
1.0.6.200907021610 (org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature.feature.group
1.0.6.200907021610)
Software currently installed: DebriefNG 3.0.0 (DebriefNG 3.0.0)
Only one of the following can be installed at once:
org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature_root 1.0.5.200907021600
org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature_root 1.0.6.200907021610
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: DebriefNG 3.0.0 (DebriefNG 3.0.0)
To: org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature.feature.group [1.0.5.200907021600]
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Combined Maritime Analysis Platform plugins 1.0.5.200907021600
(org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature.feature.group 1.0.5.200907021600)
To: org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature_root [1.0.5.200907021600]
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Combined Maritime Analysis Platform plugins 1.0.6.200907021610

To: org.mwc.cmap.combined.feature_root [1.0.6.200907021610]
============================

I'd appreciate any tips on what is actually happening here. Do I have to
amend my product to say that it can take updates versions of it's features?


cheers,
Ian
