apt.conf.d/*

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hi,

I can understand that FAI has to set:

// Options for apt-get for FAI
APT
{
   // Options for apt-get
   Get
   {
      Assume-Yes "true";
      Fix-Missing "true";
      Show-Upgraded "true";
      Purge "true";              // really purge! Also removes config files
      List-Cleanup "true";
      ReInstall "false";
      AllowUnauthenticated "true";
   };
};

But when you then manually remove a package it purges, and this is not 
the default way of doing things...

The above config should only be used when doing an installation (and 
then the config file is in the nfsroot) and when doing a softupdate.

For doing the softupdate, apt can be called with a specifiek config file.

Or am I wrong?

I would like to here some comments about this...

Wkr,
