Documentation request: Cutting a recursion

Open jgsuess opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

I have a repository build that transitively includes from maven as documented. At a certain level, the transitive dependencies enter into a space where a version is available from Orbit. I would like to create a P2 that just expresses the 'middle tier' of the repository and delegates to Orbit for the rest.

I assume that this is a common requirement. I think this will involve director calls to

  • Query the Orbit P2 to find out if the unit is contained and then
  • and add the redirection metadata.

I am happy to do this manually, but a procedure and some documentation on this would be very welcome. P2 is such a sparsely documented territory and the dependency wars seem so pointless.
