[cross-project-issues-dev] Mylyn composite repos are broken

[Eike Stepper <stepper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Since three days our Oomph build fails to resolve this requirement:

org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core;bundle-version="[1.2.0,2.0.0)"

We use the composite repo at http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/snapshots/weekly , which now looks like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?compositeMetadataRepository version='1.0.0'?>
<repository name='Mylyn Weekly for Eclipse 4.4 and later' 
type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.CompositeMetadataRepository' version='1.0.0'>
  <properties size='2'>
    <property name='p2.compressed' value='true'/>
    <property name='p2.timestamp' value='1452648447000'/>
  </properties>
  <children size='1'>
    <child location='../../drops/3.9.2/v20140211-0100/'/>
  </children>
</repository>

Note that the child repo is two years old.

The http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/snapshots/nightly composite does not even seem to be a valid repository:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?compositeMetadataRepository version='1.0.0'?>
<repository name='Mylyn Nightly for Eclipse 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8' 
type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.CompositeMetadataRepository' version='1.0.0'>
  <properties size='2'>
    <property name='p2.compressed' value='true'/>
    <property name='p2.timestamp' value='1300249263003'/>
  </properties>
    <child location='../compatibility'/>
  <children size='8'>
    <child location='../compatibility'/>
    <child location='builds'/>
    <child location='commons'/>
    <child location='context'/>
    <child location='docs'/>
    <child location='reviews'/>
    <child location='tasks'/>
    <child location='versions'/>
  </children>
</repository>

Note that the first "child" element is outside of the "children" element. p2 simply ignores that.

Are these two composites not supposed to be used anymore?

Cheers
