Ahhh, this is a pretty good hint. "Write it right" means: check first
if the tools are present and run the stuff which runs. May be I have
to "touch /var/tmp/pkg.just-configured" to set a marker for the second
call, should I?
Any example packages to steal code and make sure I understand right?
Kind regards
