Re: [pde-dev] Target Platform question

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know for sure, but I think what it's trying to do is only fetch "includes" vs. "requires".  For example, if feature foo "includes" bundles A,B and C (but requires D-Z), unchecking this box will only fetch A, B and C (i.e. not "including the required software").

I think John helped with this, so he might be the best person to talk to.

cheers,

ian

Hi,

I was recently made aware that if I provision a target platform with "Include required software" unchecked, the slicer used will only follow consider requirements with strict version ranges. I fail to see the logic in that. Can someone please explain why that is?
