[emf-dev] [Galileo] Failed for build 2009-05-19 due to invalid site.xml
|
I suspect the reason for these failures is that the site*.xml files used
to generate the metadata contain two </site> tags, making the files
invalid XML.
The only reason I can think of for how this happens is concurrent
attempts to write to the same file at the same time. (The location of
the first </site> varies within the file, while the second one is always
at the end.)

Search for "components' category*.xml into single site.xml" and you'll
see that on the build server, these happened a few seconds apart (no
problem) but on download.eclipse, both changes to the site*.xml files
started at 16:10:24. Despite starting the promotes a minute apart, they
did this crucial step at the exact same time. And then two threads began
generating the same two p2 metadata files within a second of each
other, probably colliding along the way.
So, to hopefully avoid this (since people continue to think that an XML
file is a multi-threaded database and can just fire multiple promotes
concurrently), I've added a line to the generator
(buildUpdateSiteXML.sh) that scrubs out any existing </site> tags BEFORE
appending the closing tag at the end of the file.
I can't stop people from abusing the site*.xml files (and therefore
corrupting the p2 metadata), but I can at least try to make the
resulting file *valid* XML.
If you have multiple updates to publish, please do them in series, not
in parallel. Use the IRC channel #eclipse-modeling to coordinate your
attacks.
