Re: [p2-dev] p2 categories and filters

[Nalini Ganapati <nalinig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pascal. From the defects, it
is not clear this is going to be addressed in any release, is that correct?
Is this is a good time to start a discussion and maybe implement  applying
specified filters on category IUs too?

Hi Nalini, 

No filtering is applied on categories.  This is a
known issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225365

I am trying to filter out certain requirements using filters from category

test should filter out foo.win32 on a linux platform, but I am not seeing
that happen. 

 <unit id='test' version='1.0.0.T20100823_1234' singleton='false'>
      <properties size='2'> 
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name'
value='test'/> 
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category'
value='true'/> 
      </properties> 
           <requires size='79'>
        <required namespace='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu'
name='foo.win32' range='0.0.0' optional='true'>
          <filter>
            (&amp;(osgi.arch=x86)(osgi.os=win32)(osgi.ws=win32))
          </filter>
        </required> 
      </requires> 



I am probably missing something, are filters not supported for the category
IUs? If this is a defect, I can open a bug report and probably attach a
patch too. 

Thanks, 
Nalini.
