RE: SelectPartionGroup?

Forgot to mention, this was in Cfengine 2.1.15, but is seems to be
missing in 2.1.18 also, and the function itself is still present.

HI All,


        I tried to use the SelectPartionGroup functionality by adding
the following line to my control section in cfagent.conf

      just_peers = (
SelectPartitionGroup(/var/cfengine/inputs/cfrun.hosts,#,random,4) )


        and received this error message:

cf:cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/cf.main:120: Internal function
(selectpartitiongroup) not recognized
cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/cf.main:Could not parse function

        When I looked at the BUILTINS array in globals.c I noted:

      "readlist",
      "selectpartitionleader",
      "selectpartitionneighbours",
      "selectpartitionneighbors",


        and saw no selectpartitiongroups in there.  If I add it, then
rerun cfagent after compiling, things seem to work fine for the
SelectPartitionsGroup call in cfagent.conf.

        Was this functionality turned off on purpose?  If so, should the
function 

void HandleSelectPGroup(char *args,char *value)

        be removed from functions.c or at least noted as being
deprecated?  Or should the call be re-added to the BUILTINS array?

        Thanks!
