On my test case, before the patch I ended up with a file named /tmp/$(testvar) which, truly I can't imagine being the desired behavior. It seems like fixing this would really be a good way to catch typos and so forth. Does anybody on the list rely on the current behavior?
Well, I actually do rely on it in some way. I often copy: files from my server according to some variable's value. As an example, an X11 driver will be copied to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so from $(fileserver)/linux/$(nvdrv)/nvidia_drv.so-$(nvver), where the variable nvver is defined according to which version I want to install on a particular client. Now I simply don't have to worry about this code for any machine that doesn't properly define $(nvver), the copy will just silently fail, but the rest of the config goes on correctly. Of course, I can work around this particular instance by AllowRedefinitionOf = ( nvver ) nvver = ( undefined ) classes:: nvver = ( nv7174 ) Alex -- Alexander Jolk * BUF Compagnie * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel +33-1 42 68 18 28 * Fax +33-1 42 68 18 29 _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
