Re: [p2-dev] instances/examples for server-side install?

Scott, I suggest that you just use the publisher to publish whatever you need into one of your repos. There is a launch config in the publisher project that should help a little. I should write some doc soon. Perhaps with your collaboration we can identify the key cases to doc first. Lets look at this next week.

The .properties file really just identifies the repos and the top level ius to install.

Nick pointed out some issues he has had. I could believe that they were/are problems but we should address them with the reorg of the director/installer/ProvisioningHelper so that this function is available to install anything into anything (new, old, product, add-on, ...)

Hi Scott, I don't know of anyone who has tried using the installer bundle in a server-side context. This doesn't really surprise me since the installer code as it is today is closely tied to a standalone client GUI installer. Perhaps on the server side people are using the director application instead?

Perhaps so. Actually, if someone has a meta-data and artifact repos available (for something other than the sdk) that they've been using with the director, I'll just construct the installer properties info from that. Please let me know. It doesn't strictly have to be IUs intended for server side usage, but that would be cooler.

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

Surprisingly, I haven't received any replies to this request.  Isn't
anyone creating on-the-net meta-data/artifact repos that could be used
to create an install properties file for their IUs?

Perhaps the publisher is able to do this now for existing features? (I
haven't looked yet...my apologies in advance if this is silly).

If there isn't someone already doing this, I will look to do it myself
(probably for ECF bundles initially), and make available for some
testing that I'm going to do with p2-enabled/Equinox servlets I've been
creating.
