Re: [p2-dev] Helios Features Mirror

IIRC this should be in last week I-build: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse

If in the end you want one repo that contains everything, you can simply run the operation several times using the same destination repository. In this case the mirroring task will just append to the repo what is missing.
