Please read the documentation.... There's a min and mac target version and target type in the repo format - this allows two versions of Alien to be hosted now (windows and max/linux) and users to always get the right one. It will also allow multiple versions of a plugin to he hosted too. What we don't do at present is automatically change the version installed when the server is updated - need to think about how that should happen... -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56358 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
