You can use a Codestation method to set the dependencies of a Build Life from a file-defined resolve and then add it to the client and CLI. File-defined dependencies, using an XML file, is supported for both historical resolves and transitive dependencies. Once your file is configured, you can have Codestation pull down the dependencies.

For more, go to Tools > Developer Tools > Codestation Client.
