I have some truly enormous $(allclasses) strings as a result of using cfengine
to maintain my RPM distributions. (If you define one 15-to-25 character
class for every RPM you need installed, and you need a few hundred RPMs right
after a clean kickstart....)
Anyway, I am having issues passing these large lists of classes into the perl
script that does the actual RPM installation. Mark enlarged a buffer
somewheres when I had this problem earlier, but said buffer has been
outgrown... I'd like to find a Proper Solution to this.
What is a better way than "/some/command $(allclasses)" for doing this sort of
thing? Is there some kind of iterator-type trick anybody knows?
