Thanks Thomas,

Where is this other mailing list? It is not listed on the wiki or at
http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/ hence why I used the dev list.

You enter a tag-branch path in your CQUERY. The cvs reader type will pick it
up.

Buckminster doesn't care about import/export package. You'll need to include
the bundle somewhere else. Either in a 
feature (very common since it's often needed for the install) or in a cspec.

This is the 'buckminster-dev' list. It's intended for question regarding
development of Buckminster itself. We also have 
a 'buckminster' list which is intended for everyone using Buckminster. I
think you'll have a bigger chance of getting 
good answers there.
