Hi Nuwan and all, If there is a patch which has a dependency to jar file(say a hostobject or any other carbon bundle changed) which will be used in jaggery application, In that case, we have a dependency between jaggery patch and usual patch(patchxxxx). How does the dependency resolution works if we maintain jaggery patches separately? Or Did I miss anything here?
