I have a repo setup for ExtendedInfo-Mod:

https://henryjfry.github.io/repository.t...mond/repo/
https://henryjfry.github.io/repository.thenewdiamond/

And i want to include a dependancy for a repo, to then install the most recent update of a dependant addon, however whenever I attempt to install it in the debug log it reports:

ADDON_REPOSITORY and will not install!

Is it possible to install a repo as a dependanct?
If not this seems like a bit of a blocker, every repo will need to include every dependant addon, rather than just including the original repo reference and letting the owner keep stuff up to date.

So is it possible to actually include a repo as a dependant?

Seems like its deliberately built that way:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/ee0e86...s.cpp#L467

So whats the correct approach?
I've included the repo in my repo, and a version of the particualr addon in my repo too.  So if I remove the external repo dependancy and users install just my addon they will get the version on my repo but no updates until they choose to install the external repo.

Thats what is supposed to happen? Seems like being able to install the repo first and just reference the external addon is more effecient.
