Yes it would be great if you can provide some pointers.
I had a look at the fai doc for hooks, and I am not sure if I should
create a hook instsoft.VAGRANT which would contain
the line
grep-aptavail --no-field-names --show-field Package
--field Priority --regex 'standard\|important' \
| chroot $target xargs apt install --yes
or if you mean a hook which would on-the-fly generate a
package_config/VAGRANT with the content being fed from
grep-aptavail --no-field-names --show-field Package
--field Priority --regex 'standard\|important'
The rational behind all this is that I am trying to move stuff out of
the ./scripts/VAGRANT/20-setup config script, as asked here:
