[tycho-dev] Can Tycho use an old-style site.xml update site in a target platform

Hi,

I have an eclipse-target-definition which contains
<http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse>. This update site appear to be
old-style only, i.e., it has a site.xml but no
(artifacts|content).(jar|xml). Are such update sites supported by Tycho?
(Didn't find an issue in Bugzilla.)

PDE loads them just fine, but with Tycho I see

[INFO] Adding repository http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse
[INFO] Fetching site.xml from http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse/ (0B of 4,93kB at 0B/s)
[ERROR] Failed to resolve target definition /Users/sewe/.m2/repository/org/example/neon/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/neon-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.target: Failed to load p2 metadata repository from location http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse: No repository found at http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse. -> [Help 1]

What looks odd to me is that Tycho tries to download the site.xml in the
first place, if old-style update sites were completely unsupported, so
maybe I am simply doing something wrong.

Best wishes,

Andreas

this should be covered by p2.
Up to now I think that old-style site.xml update sites were still supported by p2.
Given it's been deprecated years and years ago, if it breaks now I think that chances are low anyone will fix it.
