Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Technical question on "optional features"

Hi Dave,

better think twice and check bugzilla before you adopt this... I don't understand the feature, but I know for sure that there is at least 1 unresolved UM bug about "optional not really working".

I tried optional features some while back, and it turned out for me at that time that when I deselected an "optional" feature during installation, my UM configuration was broken so I could not do any further updates or change the config (that's the other UM bug: Update fails when ANYTHING is wrong in the configuration).

I'm wondering ...

While testing the Europa Site, when I select a whole bunch of stuff, I eventually get a dialog that says "The following features are optional, do you want to install them or not" (to paraphrase).

How does this happen? I don't recall ever seeing this optional part of the sequence before.

I'm asking because I want to do it too :)

I'm just wondering if it is a side effect of all the plugins in one of these features happen to be optional to all other plugins,

or, if there is some way in features or site.xml to specify an "optional" feature?

Thanks in advance.
