[elbe-devel] Ordering of <finetuning/> and <pkg-list/> elements

[Manuel Traut]

Hi Lukasz,

> I was always wondering, why do you enforce a particular ordering of <finetuning/> and <pkg-list/> elements in the XML input?

> I ask this question, because (in my view) an intuitive order would be: 1) <pkg-list/>, 2) <finetuning/>, since it corresponds to the order in which elbe executes the respective operations: first it installs the packages from the <pkg-list/> and then it runs commands from <finetuning/>. However, the order enforced by the XSD schema is just the opposite. What is the rationale behind?

there is no (technical) reason for this.

There is even a long existing issue:
