Ok. We can do the full solution in YP-1.9. However, that leaves us with "IMAGE_INSTALL_append" being still semantically wrong, and not a good foundation for the future. If we can rename it to "IMAGE_INSTALL_+=" (following my general proposal), and make this single hardcoded exception, then we are talking a minimal change (a dozen lines of code). The other option is to just call it "IMAGE_INSTALL", with no syntax sugar, and just make it work as a "+=" hardcoded in the background. - David > -----Original Message----- > From: Barros Pena, Belen [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2015 7:44 AM > To: DAMIAN, ALEXANDRU; Reyna, David; Paul Eggleton; PURDIE, RICHARD > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: general solution proposed for 7394 "Toaster needs to add a > space to the value of IMAGE_INSTALL_append" > > On 12/03/2015 14:09, "Damian, Alexandru" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > >In fact what we can do is have a pull down list in the page to specific > >and select any of the supported special operators, and let the javascript > >manipulate these special syntaxes.
