How are you going to read xml with awk, sed or shell without getting messy? xml as in configuration files. You can use perl and python is more well defined. >> A file that can be handled with available shell, sed, awk, perl or just use >> make. > Yes, but its another big piece. > > I would rather suggest to add some preinstall/postinstall scripts which > by themselves just call apkg with the correct parameters and can be eval(ed) > > keep it simple stupid > I'm not convinced of the simplicity with pre/post install script you add logic to each .lpr instead of data. You also have to change every packages to do it.
