Re: [buckminster-dev] replace a plugin in buckminster

[Andreas Pakulat <apaku@xxxxxx>]

Hi Achim,

Hmm, how would I do that? It doesn't seem to be possible to build a p2 site 
with Buckminster from a single plugin. I've meanwhile tried with an extra 
feature and updatesite and installing that into Buckminster but it doesn't
seem like this worked (even though there were no errors and the pde-build 
plugin in my buckminster seems to be the self-built version).
