| Apache Directory Studio Update Site: |
| ------------------------ |
| The update site is located under https://directory.apache.org/studio/udpate. |
| |
| The main update site consists of the following files: |
| |
| +--directory.apache.org |
| | |
| +--studio |
| | |
| +--update |
| | |
| +--.htaccess |
| +--site--xml.html |
| +--site--xml.cgi |
| |
| The update manager of Eclipse and the RCP application automatically tries to |
| access the site.xml to get new updates or features. Our .htacces contains |
| a rewrite rule to forward from site.xml to site--xml.cgi. Ensure to rename |
| htaccess to .htaccess! |
| |
| The site--xml.cgi just calls Apache's mirrors.cgi to get a list of available |
| mirrors. |
| |
| The site--xml.html is a template of the real site.xml. The url of the |
| preferred mirror determined by the cgi script is applied to this template. |
| |
| With this trick the update manager always gets an URL to another mirror. |
| The update manager loads the features and plugins from these mirrors. So |
| the mirrors must contain the features and the plugins directories. |
