Re: [epp-dev] Cache of Indigo repo (was Re: Indigo SR2 RC4 packages )

My local copy is about 1.9GB

Beth, I found this:
_http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring#Mirroring_Artifacts_

It's been running for a few hours (still not done) and is already eating
up more than 1.5 GB on my local disk, but I'm hoping it serves my needs.

Markus, is the p2.mirror Ant task you mentioned the same as running the
Equinox app as described in the wiki page above?

    I'm interested in this too, it would significantly speed up some
    things I do to not have to connect networking over and over to do
    the same things, and allow them to happen offline,
    plus guarantee I always get the same artifacts.

    Can someone point us to instructions on how to do this?

    Hi Eric,

    would it be possible to use the p2.mirror Ant task to create a local
    p2 mirror? With this you would get a local p2 repository with a
    subset (or all) artifacts that you need. This local p2 repository
    could be used directly or you could use the p2.repo2runnable task
    for creating directory structure that is 'consumeable' by the IDE.

    I am asking because there is no ZIP file available, and even if
    there was one I doubt that it would be the right choice because
    /releases/maintenance (and all other 'release' repositories) are
    composite repositories with the artifacts split between this repo
    and the Eclipse Platform repository.

    Regards,
    Markus

            _http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance_  Is there an archive of this maintenance repo available for
        download somewhere? I'm working on a product that will be based
        on 3.7.2, so I'm trying to build up a /local/target platform for
        3.7.2 (I can't use update sites in the target definition). It's
        quite tedious to do so by installing the features I want and
        then copying the JARs around. So I'm looking for a better solution.

        Thanks,
        Eric
