can we clean p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache/binary ?

[Nicolas Micoud]

Hi,

I'im updating an iDempiere instance (running on CentOS) using the command line sh update.sh http://...
I notice that the repository located in p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache/binary is 7 gb and contains old bundle versions.

Can it be deleted harmless ?
If yes, could the update.sh script delete old files ?

Thanks,

Nicolas

I've deleted the older files and everything seems fine.
Would it be possible to include the cleaning of this directory in the update.sh script ?
Or must it be done manually ?

Thanks

hum...

This time, i've deleted too much files and i was not able to update the instance using sh update http://....p2

I had to make a fresh install.

Any advice for cleaning this directory which is 5.3 GB ?

Thanks,

Nicolas

No one else got issues with that ?

i occasionally does update sh and now checking, noticed the cache/binary is below 400Mb. Also i replaced with new version every few months because i am more assured it is clean and working.

So, a good practice would be to install "from scratch" regularly ?
