Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Updating packages on mac results in broke

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My suggested way of proceeding would be to

- leave the SR2 Mac OSX packages as they are because I couldn't find the problem in them and

- wait for a few more people successfully testing the fixed metadata in the http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/helios/SR2.fixed repository; if this turns out to be a successful fix I would re-enable the update of the packages tomorrow / Monday.

Any thoughts?


Thanks, Markus

I can install successfully using the new repo.

I assumed that the EPP package IUs were in the helios repository which is why I talked about a "respin". What I meant was more "we need to fix it" :).

Thx for the quick turnaround.

In order to get some time for investigation I disabled the update of the EPP packages (see my comment on the bug).

* I tried to update from SR1 to SR2 and my last tests just yesterday on Linux didn't show any problems.
* So far I think it is a problem in the package metadata only, i.e. there is no need to respin SR2.

Thanks, Markus

Hello, 

The news arrived a little bit earlier today in my inbox, updating an EPP package on a mac results in a broken install since the eclipse.ini file is being deleted: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=338310

After some investigation it looks like the root cause may be that the launcher name used for the packages changed from eclipse to Eclipse (Bug 338320).

Two things:

1) Could it be verified that the update is working on other platforms?

2) Assuming that this is an issue only for the Mac and it is indeed a problem with the package metadata, should we respin SR2.

Thx
