So why is it called ENVIRONMENTS instead of just ENVIRONMENT? Are there
future plans to support several?

Hi Helmut,
Thanks. But that approach will not help me. I cannot ask all the
Buckminster users to modify their UI's. I would need a meta-data
repository scrubber or something to get rid of them (horrible thought)
:-)
Pascal, what will happen if I add many different environment
combinations to the PROP_ENVIRONMENTS (the plural form suggests that this is possible). Will that
make the profile accept all IU's that match at least one of the
environments listed?

Hi Thomas :)
A while ago we asked for the filters to be able to support multiple
values,
I think I remember having filed a bugzilla for that .. *searching for
the number*
The way we do it right now is to have our IUs not specify any osgi.os
filter as a condition so that
p2 has no knowing of what os the IU was meant for...

Hi Pascal and Helmut,
Very interesting. I understand the issue with platform specific install
handles, etc. But you seem to have cracked my problem. How do you avoid
"osgi.os"? Do you simply skip the PROP_ENVIRONMENT setting in the
profile?

Ciao Thomas :)
Our p2-based installer does the same, it installs IUs for every
platform
into a single profile. We need this to support multi-OS
installations.
The way we do it is to avoid osgi.os...
Like Pascal said there are limitations, installing the IU
containing
"firefox.exe" on linux will be OK but the associated Start Menu
entry
for windows can't be registered etc.
Another idea is to use layers of profiles, one per osgi.os, or
some form
of local profile that would look at the IUs in the central
profile and
execute all Start Menu creation etc. for the local host...
HTH,

Ok, let's step back. Even if you were able to resolve, doing an
actual
installation of all the IU is impossible since there will be
actions
that are platform specific that can't be successfully run (e.g.
window
registry key setting on a linux box).
>From a java world perspective when it comes to building, the
only thing
that is necessary is to have access to the jars, however the
jars in the
repos are not necessarily in a runnable form (e.g. they can be
packed or
they can be in jar where they need to be a folder form) and they
need to
be massaged. The code we introduced in M5
(org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository.tools) goes over a set of
repositories and "massage" the artifacts and the resulting
massaged
artifacts are then passed to PDE Build as a target. Again this
work at
the artifact repo level and as such does not consider the
metadata
dependencies
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=264267)
which is why it can be of help.

[p2-dev] Platform agnostic profile
________________________________
I would like to
create a
platform agnostic profile. I.e. a profile that
would accept
IU's
regardless of platform filters. The analogy (which I
think is
impossible at
present) would be to describe the current
delta-pack as a
feature
and install it so that all it's bundles are
installed.
Is it possible
to create
such a profile? Can the PROP_ENVIRONMENT accept
wildcards?

Thomas Hallgren
