[tycho-user] New update site from a old one scenario

[Agustin Celentano]

Hi,

This is the scenario I am trying to do:

I have an update site with a certain UI that I need to have in another
update site with the same UI. This scenario will be frequently in my
enviroment. So. I need to design a way to do this.

What I am doing now:

1) I am using tycho-p2-extras-plugin to mirror that UI to an update site
local. Then I use this execution to generate the p2 metadata again.
publish-features-and-bundles. It works but it does not generate
categorization. So.

Reading some blogs, I found this plugin: tycho-p2-publisher-plugin to
publish categories. It should be run under an eclipse-repository packaging.
I have a category file specifying the feature to categorise

As you can imagine, I have two poms, One to do the mirroring ( pom packagin
) and another to the de publishing. ( eclipse-repository).

The first part works fine but the second does not because it does not found
the dependency ( the UI I am trying to categorise). It is expected because
it does not come from a target platform or the project itself.

So.. I am little blocked.

Any ideas? Ask me for more detail.

Thanks in advance.

Agustin

When building the eclipse-repository make sure you have a reference to
the mirror site in the pom.

For a p2 site, try something like this (note the layout = p2):
