Re: autodefining classes of copied files

[Brian C. Hill]

        I second this. Rdist handles this pretty nicely.  Maybe the
list of all files actually copied in a copy: run could go into
big hash table that can be refernced as classes. AutoDefine helps
but still leads to a lot of verbosity.

        e.g:

        FilesCopied["/etc/ntp.conf"]::

                ...
