In a situation where the FAI client uses several classes that
have package_config files, are all the applicable
package_config/ files processed in a certain order, or at the
same time? In other words, are they processed based on the
lexical ordering of their names (e.g. CLASSA comes before
CLASSZ, CLASS1 comes before CLASS2, etc.), or some other
criteria?
All package names from both classes are combined to a long list.
And in the same vein, what about custom scripts? E.g., if you have:
CLASS1/80-ssh
CLASS2/80-ssh
... are they run in lexical order (e.g., CLASS1's 80-ssh gets run
first), or ...? Obviously, you can't concatenate these, as the
interpreter could differ from script to script.
I was pretty sure that this is documented, but apparently this is not the case,
neither the FAI guide nor fai-do-scripts(1) tells you about this. Thomas, did I
miss a point where this _is_ documented?
Either way: The order of classes defines the order of execution, that is:
- DEFAULT is first
- LAST is last
- in between go your classes in the order defined.
Forgive me for asking what is potentially an obvious question, but do
you mean the order defined in 50-host-classes? So, if I have:
echo "CLASS2 CLASS1" ;;
...in my 50-host-classes, CLASS2/80-ssh gets run before CLASS1/80-ssh?
Respectfully,
Ryan
