[p2-dev] P2 build product -- cannot update features contained within

Apologies to anybody who has seen this before. I originally mailed this in May, and still have not been able to find a solution. I hope that recent activity on the p2-dev mailing list is a sign of more eyeballs watching now:

 

The summary is I am unable to use the P2 Director to add features to our product and yet retain the ability to let the end-user update those features. If there is a bug, I am looking at the “org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.lock” being set to 3, that is, updates not allowed. I want to allow them!

 

 

As a follow up on my original email (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/p2-dev/msg04129.html) , I followed the suggestions from http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2009/07/composing-and-updating-custom-eclipse.html and http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2009/07/adt-part-2-more-like-epp.html and a bit of digging into http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/pde-build-home/examples/adt.builder/ but my latest hurdle is that, even after amending my build with a customAssembly.xml that ran the director to install the extra features:

 

[sbb:eclipse-ant] pre.archive:

[sbb:eclipse-ant]      [echo] Executing customAssembly director installs of extra features for F:\sbxbuild\813\co\streambase\apps\ide\plugins\com.streambase.sb.studio\studio.product

[sbb:eclipse-ant] runDirector:

(etc)

 

 

I still cannot update features! Here’s how things look in the UI (notice the update buttons are disabled)…

 

Description: cid:image001.png@01CC1701.8ED21300

 

And here’s what the P2 UI says if I try to update the SVN feature:

 

Cannot complete the request.  See the error log for details.

Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation) will be ignored because it is already installed, and updates are not permitted.

 

 

As a reminder: PDE headless build, off a feature-based .product file.

 

Thank you,
