Then I would like to forward the question to the p2 experts. Does p2.mirrorsURL work in combination with .blobstore?

It sounds like we do not mirror
.blobstore
directories? Denis, can you confirm rsync rules? It would kind
of make
sense not to by default, since "dot directory" ... but, seems
".blobstore" should be an exception.
I'm not sure of all the ins and
outs
(a p2 expert could speak to this) but sometimes "publishing a
repo"
puts all the jar.pack.gz files in .blobstore directory instead
of as peers
to their corresponding jars.
Second, if we "must not" use
.blobstore for eclipse foundation mirrored repos, I am not sure
we have
ever documented that or provided any "how to". And, if I recall,
the "how to" isn't obvious ... not too hard once you know the
trick ... but, I do not recall the trick right off (I believe it
has to
do with "copying properties from existing repo" that does not
use .blobstore, but I don't recall how to "get" that original
repo?).
Sounds like you solved this
recently,
Alexander, ... perhaps you could add a note to
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/p2.mirrorsURL
if/when Denis confirms "can not"
(or, "should not", or "must not") mirror .blobstore
directories?
[And, I should apologize in
advance
if this is actually documented/discussed somewhere already ...
sometimes
I forget what I don't know :) ]
Thank you both!

Testing p2.mirrorsURL

Alexander,
Thanks for testing that.
I hope other projects are also testing their repos for mirror
functionality... I will accept criticism that
download.eclipse.org
is
slow due to our bandwidth limitations, but if mirrors are not
being
used, that makes matters much worse.
Thanks,
Denis

the mirror
problem was caused by having the update-site in a format that
included
a .blobstore for the pack.gz files. Having converted the
update-site to
a form, where pack.gz files are located next to the related
bundles, I
could observe a different output this morning (after there are
now a couple
of mirrors that have updated themselves to the changes).
