Re: [p2-dev] Why is the director needed during install?
|
There is two approaches:
- When you are building your repo, the aggregator tool you use could detect old style update site (maybe plug-in a new repo factory?) and download every jar from every feature so it can perform a complete generation for the IU.
- Iterate over the repo looking for the partial IUs, download artifact into a temp place, generate the IU and replace it in the repo.

Re: [p2-dev] Why is the director needed during install? |
Hi Pascal,
That was interesting news.
My use-case is that I first aggregate a repository. The result of the
aggregation is always a P2 repository. Seems to me, it would be
beneficial if the aggregator could resolve this issue so that the
resulting P2 repository is complete.
How would I do that? I guess I would start by looking for the partial
IU's. But then what?
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
