Updating an existing package through CURL

Hi,

I am using a series of CURL request to create my package.

What I am doing currently: I created a new package, added filters to it and then built the package.

What I want to do: Add more filters to this package and build it again.

I am wondering if there is a way to update an existing package. I have been searching around to see how we can do this but have failed. Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

I don't think there is option to append the filters.

You need use:-

For adding filters:

# add filters

curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/update.jsp \

-F path=/etc/packages/my_packages/testpackage.zip -F packageName=testpackage \

-F groupName=my_packages \

-F filter="[{\"root\" : \"/content/my-site\", \"rules\": [{\"modifier\" : \"exclude\", \"pattern\" : \"/content/my-site/(.*)/folder-to-exclude(/.*)?\"}]}]" \

-F '_charset_=UTF-8'

# build package
curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service/.json/etc/packages/my_packages/testpackage.zip?cmd=build

 

Rebuild an existing package in CQ
        curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:4505:/crx/packmgr/service/.json/etc/packages/name_of_package.zip?cmd=build

Yeah I have done this already. My issue is how do I add more filters to this existing package? If I add filters it overwrites the existing ones. I want to add them instead of overwriting the existing filters.

I believe Kautuk answer is the best you will get here. Even when you build with Package Manager - it overwrites existing ones.
