Hi David, yeah, if Denis confirms that this was indeed the case for my mirror problems, I will update the wiki pages with a section on that, explaining also how to convert the repo (the trick is to create a fake artifacts.xml which provides a publishPackFilesAsSiblings property and use this as format in the p2.mirror task)...
