Package: fai-client Version: 5.10.3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
When installing files with fcopy, I frequently struggle how to require multiple classes for a certain file to match, e.g. for a file in /etc/apt/preferences which I want to install ONLY for a certain debian version AND a certain hardware architecture. My solution in these situations is to combine multiple host classes in the class/*.sh scripts. So, if there is a class ARCH_ARM and a class BUSTER, the last script in class/ creates a new class BUSTER_ARCH_ARM. This, however, feels a bit cumbersome. Is there a more elegant solution for such situations right now? What I don't want to do is adding conditions in scripts/ as I would then need to use different file names (which is not always possible). Maybe, fcopy could also be extended to understand files named "CLASS1+CLASS2" or similar and only install such files if the host has both classes CLASS1 and CLASS2 (the file priority could be defined by the first class in a conjunction with the remaining classes as tie breaker, so CLASS1+CLASS2 > CLASS1 > CLASS2+CLASS1 > CLASS2 if CLASS1 has a higher priority than CLASS2). Thanks for any suggestions! Best, Maximilian
