Dropins usage #1

Closed stephanelacrampe closed 9 months ago

stephanelacrampe commented 11 months ago

Hi Olivier, We are trying to discourage Capella users to use dropins for installing addons - apparently these have been deprecated for more than 10 years, the main issue being that when there is a conflict (installing the dropins while other add-ons are installed), there is no feedback given to the user and no way to understand what the problem is. Maybe you could avoid to recommend deploying the add-on using dropins in the installation instruction on the homepage of the project? Stephane

Right, thanks for the feedback Stéphane. An in-depth discussion about dropins vs. update sites and their respective suitability to the kind of users this add-on is dedicated to could take place here, but let's avoid that. ;) Given that dropins have been deprecated for so long, I have updated the doc so that both installation styles are presented similarly and with slightly more details so users can decide.
