Re: [p2-dev] Mirroring to proxy repositories
|
Yes, true, sorry.
BTW, I just hit it again: after doing a full installation update, I had some public http repositories URL back. I guess they come from the updated features that were parsed after upgrading...
IMO, that's quite unattended behaviour to have the mirrored URL back when you're actually trying to avoid directly hitting them :-).
Couldn't P2 be optionally set to never read/use the blocks like
<url>
<update label="Maven Integration" url="" href="http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/">http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/"/>
</url>
that it could find it the features?
Do you agree we could file an improvement request?
Cheers.

Mirroring does not copy the references but it does copy the
mirrorsURL property. I think that this needs removing too to avoid
potential 'contamination' of the P2 UI repo list with external
sites.
Also it seems that external sites that are declared in
feature.xml/url elements may somehow, under certain circumstances, be added to
the P2 UI's list. However, I am still testing this and trying to get it
reproducible.

I didn't think mirroring copied
those references. If they do, please open a bug. Thanks, John
I'm
considering filing an enhancement request about having an option to have the
mirroring application to wipe out those references to external sites (so that
mirror users don't have those externals refs added automatically).
Is this
something that could be acceptable?
Cheers.

This is likely caused by reference URLs in
your mirrored metadata repository. Look for a section like this in the
content.xml/content.jar file:
<references size='6'>
<repository
url="">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4' type='0' options='0'/>
...
These
references are added to the list of known repositories for the client when your
repository is first loaded. Mirroring is controlled by a "p2.mirrorsURL"
property in the artifact.xml file:
<property name='p2.mirrorsURL'
value='http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/testUpdates&format=xml'/>
Removing this property will stop p2 from using
mirrors for that repository.
There is more information on how repositories are
managed, and descriptions of some open problems we are working on in this area
here:

Hi all,
I seem to remember the subject was discussed
somewhere, but can't find the thread back. At the moment, we use the mirrorApp
to mirror something like 10 public repositories (that's why I noticed and logged
the bug about non-working merging feature that was corrected in the
3.5M3).
The mirroring works fine (still not using the merging, though).
But there's a problem : when I add the mirrored repository URL to my
eclipse installation where I deleted all other repositories entries, I always
end up having many repositories listed from the net.
The thing is: in the
end, we wan't our developers to declare a unique Eclipse P2 repository that
they'll use to update or install "supported" software... And at the moment, they
could download it from the net directly and obtain a version we didn't
test...
I guess those URL comes from the already installed
plugins/features. So, how could we wipe them out, or ignore them or proxy them
through our mirror every necessary time (and stop new mirrors from appearing
automatically in the update interface...).
Is this something considered
possible with P2? If so, could you please let me know how to do that?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.
