Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Aggregator / B3 / Buckminster Question

I'm also thinking that perhaps I could simply exclude these bundles from the aggregator, but looking at the docs, it seems that you can *add* bundles and use Exclusion Rules to exclude *features*, but there doesn't seem to be any way to exclude plugins. And I'm not at all clear on why P2 would include these anyway. I always thought that the purpose of features was to provide a clear indication of what the user wants to install. Does anyone know why is P2 is adding optional stuff not included in the feature?!

My thinking was that that would work fine, but when I get the feature that I'm providing for Indigo from my release update site, P2 goes ahead and grabs the optional dependencies as well, and I then get a signing message. My *thinking* is that when the aggregator runs, P2 will *not* get those optional plugins unless of course the user has also added the AMP release update site separately. I won't be able to actually test that until the aggregator runs on my most recent build so I wanted to ask if my reasoning seems correct?

I've got an open bug with webmaster, so If I am somehow able to restore those important bits before the cutoff tonight, I may ask for a fresh build.
