[wpkg-users] Strange behavior of WPKG Client

[chiddie]

===============================
Yes. In this case you can do:

     <host name="yourpcname" profile-id="default" >
         <profile id="testprofile" />
     </host>
===============================

I simply did <host name="mypcname" profile-id="TestProfile" /> in order not
to have to create also an empty "default" profile in the profiles.xml.

I modified the local wpkg settings on my pc adding the (in)famous
/applymultiple to my pc only. In this way i can add tests packages to my
testprofile only, avoiding uninstalling of packages contained in the
Standard Applications profile.

=================================================
You shouldn't remove your "WPKG_Client" package from default profile for 
all hosts - wpkg compares what is installed to what it should
install according to profiles<->hosts association.

So I would expect WPKG_Client to be deinstalled if it is not assigned to 
each host!!
=================================================
I'm not sure i have understood:

Given that i have to leave 

<profile id="WPKG_Client">	
 	<package package-id="WPKG_Client" />
</profile>

as it is in order to make the domain startup script work, you suggest to add
the line 

<package package-id="WPKG_Client" />

to the profile 

<profile id="Standard Applications">
	
too?

Thanks!
