Hello,
I've noticed that the WAPT server generates a machine package named after the machine's UUID.
However, I don't quite understand what these packages are for. When you run the installations on a machine, it first installs all the software, then the machine package, which then tries to install the same software again.
I saw in the documentation that you can specify in wapt-get.ini not to use machine packages.
I'm tempted to do this, but since I'm not sure what they do, I'd prefer to find out first.
(I couldn't find it in the documentation, sorry if it's there).
Thanks in advance

[SOLVED] What are host packages used for?

Hello,
machine packages are automatically generated by the console when you assign packages to a machine.
Removing a machine package is equivalent to removing the machine's dependencies.

Good evening,
In the machine package documentation:
It's up to you, but using machine packages is strongly recommended.
