At present wpkg will halt as soon as it hits an error.
I would like an option to force an attempt on all pending installs.
I don't want the action of /force -- that ignores wpkg.xml.
Suppose that machine X is supposed to have packages A,B,C,X,Y,Z
Suppose that currently A,B, and C are installed.
Further suppose that the install command for X is incorrect.
At present wpkg will process stuff until X, then abort.
I want a flag that does the equivalent of make -k on unix -- it will
try each install until it reaches an error.
Let's call the flag /attemptall
wpkg /synchronize /attemptall would do the following:
Checks A, it's there; carry on.
Checks B, it's there; carry on.
Checks C, it's there; carry on.
Checks X, it's not there, run the install command for X
-- Fails. (This is where wpkg would normally abort.)
Checks Y, it's not there, run the install for Y
checks Z, it's not there, run the install for Z
So at the end of this I have only 1 missing package instead of 3.
This action can reduce the effect of missing depends lines.
New scenario, same 6 packages, but this time
Z depends on C, and Y depends on Z
Before, if you did this, then wpkg would fail when it hit Y every
time. With /attemptall, running wpkg a second time would fix it.
-- The first time it would try Y, fail because of the dependency
check, try Z, and install it. Next round, Z is there, so Y installs ok.
(Overall, I think that /attemptall should be the default behaviour.
/stoponerror should cause the present behaviour.)
