I made a test batch script just to merge the xml-files, which works fine, but I really would like to remove all the comments and validate the xml files also. > As a secondary option I could use a script to run on our *nix server running the samba server where WPKG is located. It would probably be much easier to do on your *nix server, which has a proper shell and all the command-line utilities you may need, rather than with Windows batch files. I don't have a script which merges xml files, but I do check my .xml files for syntax errors after any changes with this very simple command in a "wpkg-check" script: for f in config wpkg/settings hosts packages profiles; do xmllint --noout /docs2/install/$f.xml && echo OK $f || echo ERROR $f done ( I got "xmllint" with the Debian package "libxml2-utils" (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libxml2-utils) ) |
