Hi

is the update url in the feature manifest actually required?
in many examples I found it is always specified, but what happens if I'm
not including it?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

The update site URL from the feature.xml is listed in the preference page of available sites.

But if you install a feature from an update site and the URL was not in
the feature.xml the update site's url is listed in the preference page
anyway, isn't it?

cheers
