Re: strange BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching/InsertFile behaviour

[Atom Powers]

I had a possibly similar problem where it wouldn't let me use
"InsertFile" and the simple "Append" actions in the same block.

But these work for me:
--
        { #make.conf
        /etc/make.conf
        AutoCreate
        EmptyEntireFilePlease
        InsertFile "${FileSource}/common/templates/make.conf"
        AppendIfNoSuchLine "PERL_VER=${PerlVer}"
        AppendIfNoSuchLine "PERL_VERSION=${PerlVer}"
        }

        { # SNMP config
        /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
        AutoCreate
        EmptyEntireFilePlease
        InsertFile "${FileSource}/common/templates/snmpd.conf"
        BeginGroupIfNoLineContaining "syscontact ${sysadm}"
                DeleteLinesContaining "syscontact"
                Append "syscontact ${sysadm}"
        EndGroup
        DefineClasses "newsnmpd"
        }
