Description Ralf Sternberg

It seems that the *.pack.gz files are not included in the p2 metadata of our repositories.
See http://build.eclipse.org/indigo/simrel/reports/pack200data.txt
A quick
  rsternber@dev1:~/download/1.4/runtime/RC3> zless content.jar | grep pack.gz
  rsternber@dev1:~/download/1.4/runtime/RC3> zless artifacts.jar | grep pack.gz
returns no matches.

After some debugging and testing I found out that the program argument "-reusePack200Files" does the magic. We are currently calling the publisher with the program argument " -reusepackedFiles". If we use instead "-reusePack200Files" then the artifacts metadata contains the information about the pack200 artifacts. According to the p2 documentation both program arguments should have the same effect but ... I can't create a patch because the "publishNightlyBuild.sh" script is a binary but we just need to replace the "-reusepackedFiles" in our publisher script.

Just for the record. I created a bug against p2 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349069.

Markus, do you know if this bug is still valid?

I didn't invest the time to check comment #1 but I can confirm that the problem has been solved with RAP 2.2 and the change of the build together with this release. The new repositories do contain the pack.gz files (and they are referenced in the artifacts.jar).
