Hello All, I have a FAI setup running with two classes lets call them "CLASS1" and "CLASS2". Additional to other things these classes define some package installation / uninstallations. Both classes reference two packages where CLASS1 says app1 install and app2 unisntall and CLASS2 says app1 uninstall and app2 install. Since the order of both classes defined is CLASS1 CLASS2 I would estimate that CLASS2 settings apply since this is the 'higher' class - unfortunately this is not always the case...
And here is what I found and why i say 'not always': The configuration blocks of "PACKAGES install CLASS1" & "PACKAGES install CLASS2" are both within ONE package_config file of a third class STRETCH64. If the STRETCH64 file looks like following the settings of CLASS2 get applied: ------------------------------------------------ PACKAGES install CLASS1 app1 app2- PACKAGES install CLASS2 app1- app2 ------------------------------------------------ BUT if the STRETCH64 file looks like following the settings of CLASS1 get applied: ------------------------------------------------ PACKAGES install CLASS2 app1- app2 PACKAGES install CLASS1 app1 app2- ------------------------------------------------ (I just changed the order of the configuration blocks!) I know from the "FAI Guide" that "The order of the classes is important because it defines the priority of the classes from low to high." But from my understanding this mainly applies to the order of how classes are defined - not how they are listed in the package_config file. So currently I am not sure if this is by design or a bug. As of today I use the workaround of changing the order of my classes in package_config file, but since I am working a lot with profiles in some day I maybe need to have the order of CLASS2 CLASS1 and have no way out of this topic. Thank you for your inputs Kind Regards Martin
