Sure one line is not much, but I do have over 200 packages at work, where some are quite complex, so I think there will be further space for improvement. I envision using the new conditions for the updates of a CAD package, where I could chain according to the installed version. For instance, if a specific service pack is not installed, do not install the hot fixes for it or similar. In addition using multiple releases concurrently is now handled by package priority to make sure the oldest release is always installed first. This might be another place to check out new possibilities. I have changed from dependencies to includes where possible, since it does not always make sense to define the installation order by dependencies. This offers quite some flexibility and allows for better handling of dependent packages. --- Stefan |
