Hello Stephen!

>   I am working out a more general file assembly
>   mechanism.

This is good to hear.  I have the following use case:  Many of my
packages are open source tools "wrapped up" for easy installation.
A lot of these contain info files as documentation.

I've written a CAS "i.info" that drops the info files into place 
and then calls the install-info script on them, which will add entries 
in the info "dir" file at the appropriate spots.  The "i.info" CAS
also creates the counterpart "r.info" CAS to delete the entries
upon package removal.

I install these packages both on "running" systems and during
custom jumpstart.

Will your file assembly mechanism cover this use case?  Or would
I basically have to replicate the functionality of the "install-info"
script?


Thanks - Volker
