Child repository locations can either be full URIs (like the first entry) or relative paths (like the second). In this case, there is a sub-folder of the root with the name 201006230900. This looks like a build-id from June 23, 2010 @9am so it is reasonable. (and I logged into the server and it indeed exists) Relative paths are used because it makes it easier to move full repositories around on a file-system, as well the paths do not have to change when the site is mirrored to a new server. fyi Kim has a blog post about composite repositories here: http://relengofthenerds.blogspot.com/2009/02/implementing-composite-repos-in-your.html Thanks DJ. I wasn't sure if it was a problem or not (if there'd been an I or R on the front of the number, I'd have twigged) but thought it was worth raising if not. |
Build Identifier: The helios composite repository has: <children size='2'> <child location='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/helios/'/> <child location='201006230900'/> </children> A similar entry is found in the artifacts. http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeArtifacts.jar I'm guessing this is a bug, but I don't know if it's P2 related or releng, so I'm posting here first in case there's some undocumented feature about using a numeric child location that I don't know about. Reproducible: Always
