Yes, I agree that in some cases it could be useful but not as a package check because this check is totally unrelated to the package install status. Such checks should be executed prior to wpkg execution - WPKG client already supports such pre-execution checks. As I proposed such "tools" which allow to do such checks and exit with certain exit codes could be created and provided as a tool set. br, Rainer |
