I tried that, both with custom classes and cfengine-defined classes but it doesn't work. > To negate an existing class (not necessarily undefining it), I don't think > you can do it on top of the same class, but you can certainly define a new > class with the negated value: > > classes: > "negated_class" not => "original_class"; > > or > > classes: > "negated_class" expression => "!original_class"; Tried both of those as well. Maybe it's a bug? (if it's supposed to work) I do need to undefine/negate a cfengine-set class (have_aptitude, set in sysinfo.c). I have: $ cat test-cls-override.cf body common control { bundlesequence => { "report" }; } bundle common g { classes: "have_aptitude" not => "any"; "foo" expression => "any"; } bundle agent report { classes: "foo" not => "any"; reports: have_aptitude:: "have aptitude"; !have_aptitude:: "do not have aptitude"; foo:: "have foo"; !foo:: "do not have foo"; } $ sudo cf-agent -f ./test-cls-override.cf -I R: have aptitude R: have foo ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
