[Building Sakai] Blackboard 8 to Sakai 2.7

[Steve Swinsburg]

It's a core tool but that only means the distribution, it's an optional deployment.   So you could pull if out of a deployment and Sakai would run happily. 
If there was a hard dependency then the import part wouldn't work at all without it. 

For things like this in the past we have just moved the relevant part of the tool into the other service and made the tool depend on that other service. Eg gradebook service is in edu services and gradebook depends on that rather than everything else depending in the gradebook. 

Is this doable in the Samigo case?

Cheers,
Steve

Sure would be nice if for 2.9 maybe we could have all this stuff in ootb sakai and working out of the gate.  Probably have to comment out the samigo stuff at a minimum b/c its an indie but for sure its way too hard right now.  I just tested against a blackboard 8 export and it works just fine.
