All too true. I wish I had. Lots of things in my dim understanding of
it have a flexibility and simplicity that I admire. And thanks Tomasz
for you and your team's work.
I hope to be able to contribute at some point, but until I understand
it contributions will either be lacking or of little value. Please
don't interpret my silly questions as any way saying that your team
did things the wrong way.
Software is an art. There are almost always many ways something can
be done. Sometimes one way is better for reasons that aren't
immediately obvious.
Seriously, check for example this installer:
http://wpkg.org/index.php/Microsoft_Windows_Journal_Viewer
<install cmd='\\server\share\updates\journalviewer\enu\setup.exe /q
/c:"msiexec /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\journalviewer.txt /i
""Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi"" /qn"' >
<exit code="194" reboot="true" />
<exit code="1603" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
</install>
Generalization: Data encoded with a tag can have multiple instances?
Data encoded with an attribute can only have one instance?
Thus if I have multiple install commands, I could write
<package id="K9" name="NTP Time Daemon Service"
<install cmd='xcopy %DAEMONS%/k9nt.exe %DLL%/k9nt.exe />
<install cmd='k9nt add' />
</package>
