Something like: > > COMMERCIAL_LICENSE = "naughty packages from copyright hell" > PERL_PACKAGES = "packages I don't want to include because I dislike > Perl" > EXCLUDED_PATTERNS = "PERL_PACKAGES COMMERCIAL_LICENSE" More like: EXCLUDED_PACKAGES += "broken1,broken2:These packages are broken by design and not supported;" EXCLUDED_PACKAGES += "licenserequired,clickthru,special1:These packages require a special license agreement;" The example syntax is horrible but you get the idea. > > * As a helper for non-en_US users, fail on parse if user defines any of > > the *LICENSE* variables as *LICENCE*?
