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?

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

Thanks.

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

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

ok, thanks
