Ok, I've got an initial fragment created and sussed out how to perform an update. However, some of my components have <XmlFile> entries, and these get dropped when updating. I tried putting these entries into .paraffinmold files, but then if I want it associated with the original component, I end up getting duplicate component entries which then produces errors at compile time.
I will eventually be adding registry and service information to some of these components and am thinking Paraffin might strip these out also when updating, can anybody confirm? I would appreciate any advice at this point on the best way forward.
