Using weekly updates with Eclipse 3.3.2 [message #56230]

Hi all,

today we tried to upgrade to Mylyn 3.0.1 using this procedure:

1. Fresh install of Eclipse 3.3.2 Europa Winter
2. Upgrade to Mylyn 3.0.1
3. Add extras site for 3.0.1
4. Failed to add incubator for 3.0.1 (we need the Generic Web Connector / Web templates)

At this point we switched to the weekly update sites

5. Update from weekly update site for incubator, install Generic Web Connector
6. Tried to update from weekly update site for E3.3 and extras

As we select to install all E3.3 features, some dependency to the UI seems to be broken.

Any idea how to consistently install Mylyn 3.0.1/2 for Eclipse 3.3.2 from the weekly update site?

Thanks, Jörg

P.S. Sorry, I checked the News group but did not found any suitable answer.

Hi all,

update on installation success:

Now we reverted our config to the initial fresh installation of Eclipse 3.3.2 Europa Winter.

Then we directly added the 3 weekly update site:

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/e3.4
download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/extras
download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/incubator

This works directly.

But the migration path from 3.0.1 seems to be blocked somehow.

We also noted that the installation of Mylyn 3.0.1 for E3.3.2 added a (non-editable) update site for
Mylyn, which seems to point to the 3x versions (i.e. Eclipse 3.4). So we had to disable this
built-in update site and use our own one. Maybe this is a bug in the packaging of the E3.3 version.

Cheers, Jörg

Thanks for letting us know. The site.xml of the incubator site indeeds had a
bogus mirror redirect. I have fixed that and installing from the site
should work again within the hour.

Please make sure to you use the 3.3 update site for Eclipse 3.3.2:

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/e3.3

Can you elaborate why the update did not work?

That is odd. I just installed from this site
download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.3 and was able to reproduce the
problem. I'll look into it.

It turned out that the URL of the discovery site in the Task List feature
for Eclipse 3.3 was pointing at the 3.4 update site:

244618: tasklist feature for 3.3 contributes link to 3.4 update site
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244618

I have fixed that and added an entry to the FAQ how to recover:

Thanks again Jörg for finding and reporting these bugs!

Sorry, that was a cut'n' paste error. Of course, I do use the .../weekly/e3.3

I could describe the steps so you could reproduce:

1. Fresh install of Eclipse 3.3.2 Europa Winter
2. Upgrade to Mylyn 3.0.1 using

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.3

3. Added all extras for Mylyn 3.0.1 using

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras

4. Failed to Generic Web Connector from the incubator site

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/incubator

At this point we decided to switch to the weekly update sites

5. Added Generic Web Connector from the incubator site

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/incubator

6. Tried to update from weekly update site for E3.3 and extras

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/e3.3
download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/weekly/extras

This fails due to unsatisfied dependencies.

Sorry, that I do not have the time at the moment to go through these steps myself and provide you
with more details. If you try these steps yourself, you will hopefully see the same errors.

Cheers, Jörg
