Ah. > I'm not sure whether this should at all be considered a feature of FAI, > hence is there a need for documenting it!? Right. Basically what I described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597221#33 still holds: I would like to have a way to remove packages using class, despite some other class demanding it's installation. Maybe the way to go is with three classes and dynamic class definition based on the non- existance of another class: DEFAULT defines, via a LAST.hook, the class SMARTMONTOOLS if NOSMARTMONTOOLS is not a class for that host SMARTMONTOOLS installs smartmontools NOSMARTMONTOOLS removes smartmontools voila :-) cheers, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
