Re: [epp-dev] Fwd: EPP packages and the configuration problem
Thanks! I've been wondering about this for a while since I've been waiting to get updates for bug fixes that are important to us at JPL.

I have:
+ a bunch of others.

I added:

Basically, selecting EPP Common + EPP Modeling wasn't enough.
I had to add several other features to satisfy all requirements -- e.g., Eclipse SDK, Eclipse Platform SDK, ....
The list grew to the following:

Your original request has been modified.

  "Equinox p2 SDK" is already installed, so an update will be performed instead.

After a while, I got this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile="" phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action="">
Artifact not found: org.eclipse.update.feature,org.eclipse.epp.package.modeling.feature,1.3.1.20100913-1228.

I tried letting P2 update everything; it did but during the installation, I got this:

Which repositories did you use? Maybe you should switch from the Helios repository (/releases/helios) to the maintenance repository (/releases/maintenance) that is used for the SR1 builds *before* SR1 is released.

I tried the same with the RCP/RAP package (Linux/x86_64) less than an hour ago and I was successful.

With an Helios R install, I tried [2] and [3] but I get this:

In order to keep you updated about the progress with the Helios SR1 RC3 packages:

In comment #21 of bug 322929 (see [1]) I tried to sketch my proposed solution for the configuration problem in shared installs of the EPP packages. My own focus has changed and my top priority is now to deliver SR1 packages that do not contain the problem any more (of course), but also not to include bundles in SR1 just because there were problems in the June release. My feeling is that this is too risky and that we should not change the configuration of the packages between the release and a service release. On the other hand that decision means that we need to educate some users that are using EPP packages in a shared install and are trying to update to SR1. More information and comments should be done on the bug.

The current status is that I now have a new metadata repository available based on this proposal. It can be found here [2] and is being used for the packages that a still building [3]. I will ask the package maintainers later today to test and sign off this build.

Thanks and regards,
Markus
