Re: [dash-dev] Athena: hide the "all" feature

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

You mean the *tests* fail with that error? That's because that feature 
is installed into the test runtime in order to be able to run the tests.

To support what you want to do, we'd have to add another property into 
build.properties or testing.properties to allow a list of IUs to be 
installed for the test runtime.

Or maybe setting "mainFeatureToBuildID" to something else in 
testing.properties will override the value used to build with some other 
feature for running the tests? Try it and let me know if that works.

Why exactly do you not want this all-in-one feature on your update site?

(Also, have you tried using a custom site.xml or categories.xml to 
generate the update site?)
