[wpkg-users] Java7 for all but one host

[Jáder Marasca]

Stefan

Thanks by your answer.
I speak portuguese, not english... so sometimes it´s more difficult to
understand small details. Sorry about that.
I have a Java.xml package (for Java6) and now I created a new Java7.xml
package.
So I replace the word "Java" with "Java7" in the default/common profile ,
hoping WPG would remove Java (java6) from all computers and install Java7
on them.

Results: I have some computer with both of them and failed to exclude
PC-MICHELE  :(

For now, I think best way woud be exclude Java7 from host PC-MICHELE. All
other things are working for now.
I´m still not sure about how to exclude a package from a host or how to
exclude a host from a profile. :o :$
Sorry.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Jáder
