Re: [pde-dev] problem with p2.gathering

[Christian Schneider <chsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

thanks for your answer!
Luckily I got it on my own and publishing features works fine so far.

Is there a significant difference in introducing categories by means of 
a tranditional update site (site.xml)
or by means of a category definition file (category.xml)?

Thanks a lot!
Christian
