DEV installing staging / tags platforms issue?

See original GitHub issue

platformio says to use staging for esp8266 you can use this in ini

platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif8266.git#feature/stage

After updating platformio this worked flawlessly, must have been fixed.

eg. http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/espressif32.html#using-arduino-framework-with-staging-version

Add a https repo to platformio.ini , change enviroment and it just auto installs and works.

yeah I think i got it figured out, it is quite the pita.

I will keep this open, i am going to try to post some useful info for anyone else having the same issues.

It looks like the easiest way to deal with this, is always use staging, then manually change the versions or manually checkout specific stuff.

Another problem I was having that was causing me confusion is that core_version does not always work ( it uses a bash command in platform.txt to generate the global ) ARDUINO_ESP8266_GIT_VER so i was getting core version of 000000

I have to relearn this every few months… lol
