What the censored is component infrastructure?

 

Would a sane person want it or is this something only ASF fans would use?

I think I'll forgo component infrastructure.

Now I recall where I heard of infrastructure.  Politicians keep telling me they are going to fix the infrastructure.

Isn't the "component infrastructure" the thing where the device support is broken out of the core compiler/linker making it easier for Atmel (or others) to deliver "support packs" for new models of AVR in the future without needing a completely rebuilt compiler every time? To achieve that it has to pass in more command line parameters to say where the "packs" are located and which device to support. So I think this is saying "do you want the command lines to the tools changed irrevocably to support this new V7 way of working?". I would say the best answer is probably yes.

 

(developers have a habit of making sensible default choices in this kind of dialog so if it appears with the option ticked they are probably saying "yes, accepting this would be a Good Idea")

 So why don't they give me two boxes labeled "good idea" and "bad idea", check one?

 

They probably think ASF is a good idea.  I didn't install ASF, as far as I know.  I unchecked the box when the installation started.

Anyway I checked the bad idea box and it installed and built my project fine.
