           Summary: Add an inherit attribute to package actions
           Product: WPKG
           Version: 1.1.x-M
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wpkg.js
        AssignedTo: mangoo at wpkg.org
        ReportedBy: pendl2megabit at yahoo.de
         QAContact: wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org


Since most applications use the same commands for install, upgrade and
downgrade, it would be useful to inherit them from a different action.

---

Example:

<install cmd="..."/>

<upgrade cmd="..."/>
<upgrade inherit="install"/>
<upgrade cmd="..."/>

---

On upgrade the above example would first execute an additional command, then
the install command(s) and finally another specific upgrade command.

This would reduce the size of many packages, the possibility of problems due to
typos and the work needed to upgrade the package for the next version.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
