Do we (skinners) have to keep checking for any updates to the required import addons and change the version or will XBMC just get/update the latest one available?

Thanks.

the version given can be seen as a minimum version. as long as the other versions is ABI compatible they work. since this is only relevant for binary add-ons; no, you don't have to update that.

Thanks.

One more question - what happens if, some when down the line, we add another required addon after the skins initial install?

[spiff]

deps are resolved on install, always. that includes updates.

[Hitcher]

Thanks.

so it works if we install an addon using zipfile too?

[spiff]

it should yeah. assuming the deps are avail in some repo, we do not do any kind of local dep resolving.

ok, thanks
