xbeeps Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:05:08I was unable to send you a private message (The following users were not found: StrifeCUK), so i post it here instead:
Would you mind adding LibHealComm-3.0 to the list of default relationships for Healbot?
On the project page, select "Repository", and then on the menu on the right select "Edit default relationships". On the page that appears, select "Embedded Library" as type and "LibHealComm-3.0" as project.
That way LibHealComm-3.0 will be properly registered as an embedded library in Healbot.
Thanks!
