Hi Mickael,

 

IMO this cannot work. Kepler SR1 is not released, yet. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Kepler/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#SR1 is telling:

“The 'promote period' (9/23 to 9/26) will be the time projects put final zips and repository artifacts in their final release location (but, without displaying them or making them visible to p2) so they can propagate through the mirroring system (but not generally be "visible" to end users or p2, so that there really is a "simultaneous maintenance release")”.

I’m not sure if your mirror script is identically to the ones which Eclipse is providing for their “mirror” clients.

Our mirror is not an official Eclipse mirror. It actually uses the p2.mirror Ant task, using the http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance as input.
In this repo, which is to become Kepler SR1 tomorrow, the p2.mirror task fails on the artifact mentioned earlier. I don't know the cause, it could either be a bug in p2.mirror (but we've used it a lot for years so I wouldn't bet on it), a bug in the Kepler aggregator, a bug in the download server, or a bug in your build which might have produced erroneous p2 metadata for the artifact you contributed to Kepler.

I keep on investigating and will keep you in touch.
