[p2-dev] What is the relationship between Eclipse and Ganymede repositories?
|
Hi
All,
I created an
internal mirror of Ganymede and then tried installing eclipse from it using the
p2 installer with the following ini file:
eclipse.p2.metadata=file:///C:/dev/workshop/eclipseide/3.4/mirrors/ganymede
eclipse.p2.artifacts=file:///C:/dev/workshop/eclipseide/3.4/mirrors/ganymede
eclipse.p2.flavor=tooling
eclipse.p2.profileName=Eclipse
SDK
eclipse.p2.launcherName=eclipse
eclipse.p2.rootId=org.eclipse.sdk.ide
eclipse.p2.autoStart=true
The installation
was successful, which surprised me. I had thought that I would need to install
from my Eclipse mirror.
I did a quick diff
on the features/plugins in my eclipse and ganymede mirrors. It seems that the
two sites share a lot of stuff in common, that ganymede is almost a superset of
Eclipse but not quite: it is missing some stuff only found in Eclipse.
Questions:
1. Can anyone
explain the intent here? What is the relationship between the 2
sites?
2. Also, can
anyone tell me if the .blobstore folder found in mirrored repositories is
needed? Can it be deleted to save space?
Thanks,
Miles
