Could it be possible in the future to develop something that allows users to "subscribe" to a set of libraries? fp-lib-table then wouldn't contain each individual library, it'd contain (e.g.) a reference to a remote nested fp-lib-table that itself refers to the individual libs. That way we could actually update the library set cleanly? On Dec 28, 2015 09:19, "Wayne Stambaugh" <[email protected]> wrote:
