Hi, guys,
As far as I knew that IPS supports tagging on files, and from the
documents I can tell, that one tag is a key-value pair, e.g., arch=i386.
And for localization contents, such as messages and online helps, would
be bundled in base package, e.g., the French messages and docs of
openoffice would be shipped in openoffice package, so that you may set a
filter to install them.
While I have one question, can I specify the package patterns in a
filter? Such as
(arc=i386 | arc=generic) & (packages=openoffice & locale=fr & (doc=true
| message=true) |
packages=all-installed & locale=fr &
(doc=true | message=true) |
packages=lang-french-support,ttf-french-fonts,...)
With this filter, I could install the docs and messages for openoffice,
and all existing packages (may already include openoffice), as well as
the specified packages lang-french-support and ttf-french-fonts.
Certainly, lang-french-support and ttf-french-fonts also has the
locale=fr tag, while I may not want install all the fr l10n contents for
un-installed packages. And I'm also very interested to know how could I
specify the tags for a file?
And I assume that the sections or groups in IPS-Gui[1] are actually
filters, would the filters be able to be installed or updated by IPS
updating, or enduser could import a filter?
Thank you very much!
