package_config AND/OR/NOT Operations

[Seppanen, Brian E]

I have a number of hosts that I have to build using fai 3.1.8 (etch).
One of the processes I've had is (perhaps antiquated now) is test for HT
proc flag and make sure kernel has hyperthreading enabled which
installed a custom kernel instead of the default debian kernel.
Problem is that I have some hardware that this works well for, but I
have some new hardware which I don't have the drivers in that kernel for
- don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater --, so I need to
use the debian default one in that case.  In these cases HT is still
defined but I don't want that package installed any longer based on
membership within another class, lets call it dell.

 

(current)

PACKAGES install HT

kernel-image-2.6.26.2.bes-ht

kernel-headers-2.6.26.2.bes-ht

 

 

(wishlist)

PACKAGES install HT !dell

kernel-image-2.6.26.2.bes-ht

kernel-headers-2.6.26.2.bes-ht

 

will that work?    I've seen some threads about Boolean operations, and
I'm not clear from what I've seen whether that is something that will be
supported in a later version and where that's going.
