Description Miles Daffin

Build ID: 3.5M3

Steps To Reproduce:
I think the p2 mirror apps (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring) should verify the mirror on completion. This would be analogous to using an md5checksum on a regular file download to make sure it is identical to the original.

What level of verification do you expect? Could you please detail what you expect?

I want to know, at the end of the operation, that I have a full and faithful mirror of the target site. No missing artifacts or broken metadata. I am not sufficiently oh fay with the inner workings of P2 (at the moment) to be able to translate this into P2 concepts. Andrew Cattle suggested: "Take 2 repositories and verify all keys and descriptors match." Does this help?

This sounds similar to a request on the mailing list.

I now use the Buckminster Aggregator for all mirroring and would advise anyone needing to mirror to do the same. The Aggregator can be set up to thoroughly verify everything that it downloads. 

So, from my point of view, this issue is closed. (I will leave it to the component owners to decide what to do this this issue.)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
