[wpkg-users] wpkg.xml is empty

[Godfried Borremans]

Hi Rainer

I succeeded in solving the problem by looking at the profiles and
packages as you suggested. Thanks! I documented this in this message.
I tried to install gimp 2.6.6 but it had a check on 2.6.5. The package
was installed but not logged. Correcting the check makes it work.


My test machine with name DON-0E116EC8A53 has profile-id="test" in hosts.xml.
For this profile 1 package are defined in packages.xml:
<profile id="test">
 <package package-id="gimp26" />
</profile>
In packages.xml the package gimp26 is defined:
<package
  id="gimp26"
  name="GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)"
  revision="2606"
  reboot="false"
  priority="20">
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="GIMP 2.6.5"/>
  <install cmd='"\\wpkg\wpkg$\graphics\gimp-2.6.6-i686-setup.exe"
/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /DIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\GIMP"'/>
  <upgrade cmd='"\\wpkg\wpkg$\graphics\gimp-2.6.6-i686-setup.exe"
/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /DIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\GIMP"'/>
  <remove cmd='"%programfiles%\GIMP\setup\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT
/NORESTART' />
</package>

While looking at this I saw this type: GIMP 2.6.5 should be GIMP 2.6.6.
I changed this and now I have a non-empty wpkg.xml

here comes a log file
