[kepler-users] Module Manager problems

[Matt Jones]

Thanks, Frank.  Your experience is informative.  The suites fully specify
the correct set of dependencies.  Individual modules can be added to enhance
a suite, but one must understand the dependencies for those modules and add
those as well in the correct order.  So it is much more difficult to add in
a module than to switch to a new suite.  We'll need to think about how to
improve that to make it more robust and make the module dependencies clearer
in the Module Manager.  Thanks for the feedback.
