Ops! i've forgot about that, sorry... anyway after this email i've experimented a bit and i confirm that the <download /> tag works very well as you explain... Only one note (and xsd confirm me): > <download url="http:/www...." target="%TEMP%" /> target is a filename (path) rooted by default on the specified options 'downloadDir', not a directory. > In this case you would simply specify commands which do the download. WPKG > executes the commands in order specified within the package XML file. So feel > free to invoke any downloader tool like wget as the first install command. [...] > As you asked for a switch to globally disable WPKG downloads you might use > simple environment variables to signal to your own script whether the command > which executes wget would actually run or not. Cool hint. But, probably thanks to my bad english, you have probably misunderstood me a bit. When i speak of ''external program/scripts'' i don't mean an external downloader client-side (where wsh fit well), but a server-side script that parses xml files and download files, preparing the repository of installer. Now i'm using csync2 (http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/) to propagate WPKG recipes within installations, and in csync configuration i trigger an execution of my ''download script'' for every xml file update, so i can propagate the setup across sites without the fuss of propagation of software repository. For now my ''downloader script'' is a brute force hack that simply use 'xml2' to convert xml to something esier to parse with plain grep/sed/cut. Have surely to be rewritten in something more heavier (perl/php/python/...) and parse XML structure, more notably to be able to expand variables. So i needed the ''global download disable'' switch, because, really, i don't use wpkg to download files, but only the information within xml files. -- dott.
