Hi Greg, Fantastic, thanks for your detailed answer! I am trying out some things and I noticed that it is not possible to select a specific revision of a repository for installation (see screenshot). I thought I saw you present something like this at Oslo...is that possible ? [cid:image001.png@01CEAFB8.216DF2A0] Regards, Pieter.
