It's hard to install this on a fresh install of Drupal, because the CCK submodules are named as direct dependencies, without including CCK as well. This will pose a big problem for anyone new to Drupal (they'll never find the "number" module!), or anyone who uses Drush (Drush can't find the "number" module!). These modules pose a problem for me on a fresh install:

* content
* number
* nodereference

We can't just put "cck" into the dependencies in the module.info file, because though "cck" is the project name, it doesn't satisfy it's own dependency. I suggest we put a note on the module's d.o page to indicate that you must download CCK separately.

Simple problem, but it makes the module unusable for new installs atm.

This problem also appears at 7.x -1.x-dev version.

ok, in d7 this is not a problem of feature server but of Node Reference URL Widget, which points to a non existing module.

"node_references" is a submodule of references. You have to install References first, than it works.

for now, postponing all all D7 issues, as the branch seems unmaintained by the initial author. PLease suggest using D6 rather for now

Issue summary: View changes

Hi,
i installed now the Feature Server module.
I wasted hours searching for the dependencies like "number" and "content". Without this issue i would never find the dependencie modules(cck), they should be listed with url on the module page or in documentation.

And why is this module not maintained any more?
