import in update.conf

[paguerlais]

Hi all,

Because I need to define some constants which are of interest for both
update.conf and cfagent.conf, I tried to store them in a constants.conf
file which may be imported in update.conf and cfagent.conf. There's no
problem with cfagent.conf, but as it didn't work with update.conf, I dived
into the sources and found that imports are honored only for cfagent.conf
(I checked in both 2.0.4 and 2.0.7p3 versions).
So :
- why is it written as it is ?
- how do you deal with that problem, that is, how do you share variables,
constants, ... between update.conf and cfagent.conf ?

Thanks
Patrice
