Bug#390447: also run task confdir with dirinstall
Variables from *.var are defined for dirinst since task_defvar is called before task_dirinst. Have a look at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/dirinst-log/fai.log -- regards Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Have a look at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/dirinst-log/fai.log Hmm. Probably I mixed that with the hostname problem (so, HOSTNAME.var wasn't executed, as well as CLASSNAME.var for classes that i usually define in a class/HOSTNAME file when doing netinstalls. To be real usable(that means, give a usability plus over installing xen via network as usual), a way is needed so I can give a single word (for example the hostname) to define all classes instead of listing all of them manually. (which can be a lot for more compley setups). I saw fai already evaluates the variable HOST, so only the classes need to be defined somehow by hostname. I tried setting the FAI_CLASSES in a .var file, but that seemed not to work. Henning -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you mixed this up, please close this bug. I think adding a -h hostname option is an good idea. But we have a sparate wishlist bug for this. -- regards Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's also about making dirinstall conveniently usable - more explanations below. I think adding a -h hostname option is an good idea. But we have a sparate wishlist bug for this. Actually, these bugs belong together. The HOST env Variable is already evaluated in FAI ( I didn't test that thoroughly, but the sourcecode look like this), but without the confdir being parsed, the things I wanted to do as described in 390367 aren't possible. When only .var's are evaluated, but not class/50-host-classes and class/HOSTNAME people always have to give long lists of classes with -c. And that's complicated. Or is there another solution for this which I oversee ATM? Henning -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#390447: also run task confdir with dirinstall
Package: fai-client Version: 3.0 Severity: Normal At least the variable expansion from .var files should be run. Many people depend on it, and fai is much different to use otherwise. This is a bit connected to using a hostname parameter in dirinst, (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390367) because without running confdir at all, the hostname directive is not so much useful ( at least as inteded in the other bugreport). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
