Re: Platform string

[Morgan Ives]

Guys,
   I use this type of constuction with variations.
          Morgan

control:
  sunos_5_6::
         klass = ( "56" )
  sunos_5_7::
         klass = ( "57" )
  sunos_5_8::
         klass = ( "58" )
 copy:
${repos}/inetd.conf.sun${klass} dest=/etc/inet/inetd.conf

I don't know how I can take those classes and insert them in a string.  I
need something I can declare in a variable.  I'm using it something like
this in update.conf:

  master_binaries = ( /var/cfengine/master/binaries/$(arch) )

  # Update important binaries
  $(master_binaries)/cfagent    dest=$(workdir)/bin/cfagent
                                mode=0755
                                backup=false
                                type=checksum
                                server=$(policyhost)

I know that the classes you mentioned are defined, but not how to get those
tokens in place of $(arch).
