Good morning,

First, the context: Let's imagine I need a package that can run differently depending on the user's profile (by adding plugins based on user roles). And that the profiles are not differentiated by membership in a particular group and that there is no file that allows defining a profile.

Is it possible to run a package with an option to retrieve the option as a variable and execute the part of the Python code that corresponds to the value of the tested variable (like the operation of a function in the end).
Example: wapt-get install agri-7zip -profile (or option)

THANKS.

Patrice

Hello Patrick,

Python allows you to do anything you can imagine.

The setuphelpers are there to help, but you can also use classic Python functions to read data from a file, look up values ​​in registry databases, consult an external repository (LDAP, AD, DBMS, etc.).

However, I don't quite see how you're going to make what you're trying to do reliable; how do you differentiate the roles of your users?

Sincerely.

Vincent
