You don't have an existing naming schema for that? I would go for the later, or you decide that all variables should have FAI as prefix. > If the variable is not set at all, the default will be to check the > variable names. Parse error.

Bug#894561: add new variable
This is my first idea for a fix. Adding a new variable, which can be defined in class/*.var or defined before calling fai-diskimage. This will then disable then ckeck inside install_packages for unknown package names. I have two proposals for variable names: FAI_PACKAGE_NAME_CHECK=0 or DISABLE_PACKAGE_NAME_CHECK=1 Which variable name is better? Do you have any better name? If the variable is not set at all, the default will be to check the variable names. Any opinions? -- regards Thomas
