Hello everybody.
New to wpkg and to this list also, I've read the wiki and have some questions.
I'm sure wpkg experts can answer them quite easely.
** First, about the hosts.xml file
http://wpkg.org/Hosts.xml
I've read this sentence :
----
Normally, hosts are parsed from top to the bottom, except when the hostname is not a regular expression. So the host bronek1 will match profile1, even though it also matches b.+ and bron.+ (which are regular expressions).
----
There is a thing I don't understand. When the hosts file is parsed, does the parser use the first match for the host and use its profiles, or does the parser use all matching profiles
For example, if I have
<host name="b.+" profile-id="profile1" />
<host name="bron.+" profile-id="profile2" />
and the host bronie
will it match the first and use only profile1
OR
will it match both and use profile1 AND profile2 ?
Can I have also two entries for the same host ?
<host name="bronie" profile-id="profile1"/>
<host name="bronie" profile-id="profile2"/>
will it give
- an error
- only profile 2
- only profile 1
- both profiles
** About the packages...
I'd rather keep individual packages for my networks. Is there a way to have them in subdirectories
packages / sub1/ ...
/ sub2 / ...
or is it only possible to have one packages directory ?
I thank you all for reading so far.
Cheers
Laurent
