ah, yes, I forgot that option. Thanks for the hint. I could create meta packages in our own repository for each personality, i.e. webserver.pkg, appserver.pkg ... and have those depend on a suitable set of packages from dev or so.

So there is no standard way to have personality templates? Isn't that a standard requirement with larger installations? How do others do that? Thanks for your insights.

Cheers
 Stefan
