Re: [p2-dev] platform IU ranges in a product definition
|
In your product, feel free to do whatever you wish. I'm not sure if the product editor supports version ranges or not.
However, a few Eclipse components specified ranges for 'include' dependencies a few years ago and this lead to a number of problems. Namely, there is no rhyme or reason to what you will get, that is, you will just get the flavour of the week. The automated tests will run against some (random) configuration of software, and your users will get another (different) configuration. It all depends what IUs happen to be around at that point in time.
Just in your example below, would it be ok if the launchers didn't match the version of platform? Will that work?
Cheers,
Ian

Our commercial product's root p2 product metadata specifies a specific build (XYZ) of various platform IUs for both the bottom and top of the version range (see below an excerpt from our <number>.profile). I'm being told it's impossible to open up the version range of these platform IUs. I'm requesting that the top range be opened up to allow our automated testing scripts to update the platform (among other things) in a product build via p2 in order to test that newer version of the platform. I have already determined that this sort of update is possible by manually opening up the ranges in the .profile with a text editor.
Is it true that the root product metadata cannot be assembled in a way that has an open top version range for these platform IUs?
