Using list for package make version check quite useless. It permit to
express a sort of dependencies between packages without adding number
of classes.

I don't say it relevant, I'm quite new to cfengine and I'm not sure to
catch its whole philosophy. I'll not ask to add something which seems
useless for everybody (maybe including me ;-)).

I'll not do it, it's C++ and I'm not the kind of man who can use C++
in C ;-)

I was thinking about this to permit to define a class when a package
is installed. For now, define is triggered if the package is already
installed, not when the action=install is done.

I thougt that we can (for some package manager) change this.

I'll continue to experiment with cfengine, and keep you informed about
my "ideas".

Ok.
