Yes. I made sure it did pull. AFAIK though, the Nordic SDK is largely self-contained. The only thing that pulling and choosing the dev pack does (for now) is: enable the GNU ARM plugin for Eclipse to show you registers in the Registers tab of the debugger. I suppose one could configure an Eclipse project to reference the headers and so forth that are in the dev pack, but I just reference the copies in the Nordic SDK.

@bootchk (butch): Yes, the GCC ARM plugin will pull the nRF_DeviceFamilyPack from ARM's repos.

OK. I will assume that the statement in the release notes applies to users of Keil products. And that Softbank which owns ARM which owns Keil also provides some sort of information that is also available open source and that my Linux,Eclipse, GCC, GCC ARM plugin toolchain already fetches or contains the info.
