<br> As far as I know it supports importing as well as exporting XML files.<br> I think it's even the default mode of WPKGExpress to write the XML files to a<br> directory which can be shared on SMB/CIFS.<br> <br> br,<br>
<br>Rainer<br> <br><br> PS. Copy to the mailing list for reference.</blockquote><div><br> </div><br></div>Hello,<br><br>Currently, wpkgExpress is designed to be used via XML export URLs for packages/profiles/hosts (these URLs are defined in the wpkg config file) and therefore does not automatically write XML files to disk anywhere. The reason for this is that wpkgExpress could be run separately (i.e. somewhere on the internet) from the local network where the wpkg XML files would ordinarily be stored. You can however manually save the XML files in the admin section of wpkgExpress. In there, there are links to those same XML exports which can be saved locally by right-clicking on any of the three export links and selecting "Save Link As..." or similar. This should result in the appopriate XML file being saved to wherever you chose.<br>
<br>I hope that makes some sense.<br><br><br>Brian<br>
