Sure you can. It just requires an additional package. But "timing" might be an issue. For example imagine you move the location of %SOFTWARE% and therefore you update your package which sets system variables and updates %SOFTWARE%. Now there might be clients which did not synchronize since a while. So when they synchronize the next time there might be some pending package removals in the queue already. WPKG will first attempt to perform the removes before performing the upgrades and finally the installations. In such case the removals might fail if they depend on %SOFTWARE% which is not updated by the time removals are executed. Usually not a big deal as after (even failed) removals the updates will be applied and on next synchronization the removals will likely work again. However, not the most clean solutions I think. Also remember that the WPKG process itself runs in "old" environment on next synchronization before it updates itself then. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
