Re: [eclipse-mirrors] Errors when using the standalone updater to mirror

Hi Miles

If you are interested in maintaining
a local mirror, I suggest submitting a request to become a mirror to the
webmaster.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/mir_request.php

This page is geared more toward public
mirrors but there are certainly private  mirrors. Rsync is much simpler
approach, you just add a cronjob and updates automatically appear :-)

That being said, here is how I was able
to mirror Caliisto using the update manager.  Please use Eclipse 3.2,
not 3.1 because there are are a number of important update bugs that have
fixed since 3.1

Create a blank directory for your update
site, for example
mkdir /home/kmoir/site

From your eclipse3.2 directory 
/home/kmoir/jdk1.4.2_03/jre/bin/java -cp startup.jar
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
-command mirror -from http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases  -to
/home/kmoir/site -ignoreMissingPlugins true

The mirroring command won't copy the
packed jars.  So, after the update site is ready,  you will have
to recreate the packed jars using the following command ensuring you use
a 1.5 vm
/home/kmoir/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/bin/java -jar startup.jar
-application org.eclipse.update.core.siteOptimizer -jarProcessor -outputDir
/home/kmoir/site -processAll -pack /home/kmoir/site

Then generate the digest

/home/kmoir/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/java -jar /home/kmoir/eclipse3.2rc6/eclipse/startup.jar -application org.eclipse.update.core.siteOptimizer -digestBuilder -digestOutputDir=/home/kmoir/site -siteXML=/home/kmoir/site/site.xml

Ensure that your site.xml specifies that it uses pack200 and the specifies the location of the digest...for instance
<site pack200="true" digestURL="http://localmirror/updatesite/">

These steps are summarized here...

Subject	[eclipse-mirrors] Errors when using the standalone updater to        mirror Callisto

Dear All,
 
I have been trying to mirror the Callisto
Discovery and Eclipse project update sites using the standalone updater
(versions 3.1 and 3.2):
 
Eclipse: http://update2.eclipse.org/updates/3.2
Callisto: http://download3.eclipse.org/callisto/releases
 
This morning I managed to successfully
mirror Eclipse using the 3.2 updater (not tested it yet) but *cannot* successfully
mirror Callisto using either the 3.1 or 3.2 updater. I have attached the
scripts I used plus the error logs from the various runs to this email.
Can anyone tell me what is causing these errors and what I/we can do about
them?
Best regards,
 
Miles
