I am trying to enable update of my rcp application. Previously I had the following in my p2.inf file which worked fine:

instructions.configure=\
  addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo);\
  addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo);


but now I store archived versions of the repos

http://myhost/repos/my.repo.zip


so I have tried to update my p2.inf file to:

instructions.configure=\
  addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip);\
  addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip);


but it does not work. What is the syntax for adding archived repositories to the p2.inf file?

I'm not sure it will work over HTTP. It may download the whole ZIP on
every single requests. Not sure if there is some smart caching involved.

But they way it works with archived repos is that you give it a ZIP URL.

For example:
"zip:http://myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip!"

p2 will then access items in the ZIP using URLs like
"zip:http://myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip!/content.jar", etc.

Ok but where do you put the 'zip' in the p2.inf file?

I have tried:

 instructions.configure=\
 addRepository(type:0,location:zip:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip);\
 addRepository(type:1,location:zip:http${#58}//myhost:8081/repos/my.repo.zip);


but it does not work.

You still need to encode the ':' after ZIP and the '!' at the end is
also important.

What do you mean by "encoding"? On this page (near the bottom):


http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_actions_touchpoints.html

there is a table of the "Variables Available in all phases" which says that:

: = ${#58}

I have tried:

addRepository(type:1,location:zip${#58}http${#58}//myhost/repos/my.repo.zip!);


but when I try to update I get:

!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository 4 1006 2012-05-25 11:50:05.406
!MESSAGE Malformed reference to remote file: zip:http://myhost/repos/my.repo.zip!/content.xml

I'm afraid that this indicates that it's not possible to reference an
archived update site from a remote location (i.e., not on the local file
system).

prefixing with 'jar' instead of 'zip' works:

addRepository(type:1,location:jar${#58}http${#58}//myhost/repos/my.repo.zip!);
