Hi,
I just started using cfengine last week and only had a quick look at the source
code this afternoon so please correct me if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to compile a kernel on a Gentoo box using cfengine. The file
responsible for compilation is kernel.conf. It uses information (import
variables) from hardware.conf and version.conf. A known fact is that running
kernel.conf will parse that file first and then import hardware.conf and
version.conf files. So, if I set the variable kernel_major_version = ( 2.6 )
on version.conf and then use that variable on kernel.conf, it will be entered
in a table as $(kernel_major_version) and later replaced by the value 2.6.
Now, the problem is that if I try to use that variable in editfiles: {
$(kernel_major_version) ... }, the variable is NOT expanded as in any other
context.
I attached to that email the version.conf and kernel.conf files as well as a
suggested patch (do.c.patch).
Michael
