Hi,
I'm testing the deployment of wapt on an environment without Active Directory (Eole distributions) and I'm having a problem with Groups. In the wapt console, I created Package Groups and assigned packages to them. I added these Groups to some PCs (either manually via "Edit machine configuration" or by multi-selecting and "Add a package or package group"). The packages install correctly on the machines.
In the console, "Group" is set to "All" by default, so I can see all the PCs. As soon as I click the arrow and choose one of my groups, I no longer see any PCs.

Furthermore, I just noticed that I could add a "Groups" column to the console. In this column, only one PC appears with one group: the waptdev group. I had "Imported from internet" the "tis-waptdev" package and installed it on this machine. Then I modified the package and installed it on a second PC. On that PC, there's nothing in Groups.

Thanks

For a group to appear in the "groups" column of a machine, it must be a dependency of the machine package.
Therefore, the software "group" must have been installed on the machine via a dependency and not through a manual installation such as "wapt-get install mygroup".

Thank you,

but I think I haven't quite understood everything.
Using the graphical interface, I create a package group (tempo).
Then, right-click, add dependencies (Sumatra and FileZilla).
Neither program is installed on the PC.
Right-click on the PC, select "Add package or package group," and add tempo
. Installation OK; the tempo group appears in the PC's "Package name" list, but nothing appears in Groups.

The same thing happens if I right-click, select "Edit machine configuration," and add the tempo dependency.

It seems to me that in both cases, my package group is correctly considered a dependency.

In fact, I'm following https://dev.tranquil.it/wiki/WAPT_-_Ges ... la_console,
but there's nothing in Groups.

Furthermore, on the machine in question, if I run wapt-get edit-host, I can see that my package group is indeed listed as a dependency: "depends: tempo."
