[cross-project-issues-dev] Strange p2 behaviour

Hi,

I've invested a lot into our new promotion service that automatically creates composite repositories with nested categories (generated from the content.xml of a build) and everything. The directory layout under download.eclipse.org is the following:

modeling/emf/cdo/

       temp/  --> Used to generate all composite repos

       drops/ --> N-builds filtered for mirrors

             I20110608-1536/

             M20110608-1536/

             S20110608-1536/

             R20110608-1536/

updates/ --> almost atomically replacable with temp/

releases/

4.0/

3.0/

2.0/

1.0/

       integration/

             stable/

             weekly/

       maintenance/

             stable/

             weekly/

Now, when trying these repos out, I encounter some strange things. First, it looks not so bad:



But when I want to expand the categories they're empty:


This particular repository is a composite of two other composites (stable and weekly integration builds). For a different composite (releases, also a composite of composites) it seems to work:



Another problem that I don't understand is that the Install New Software dialog sometimes (but reproducibly) tells me "Duplicate Location":



Although I can find this location nowhere in the preferences:



Is there a p2 expert out there who can help me with these problems?

If it helps, here is a preliminary version of the generated downloads page: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/updates/downloads.php

Cheers
