Hi,
On 6.X I've done some testing and, unless I misunderstood, it seems that scripts
using the rcorder framework with the same dependencies, i.e., with the same
REQUIRE: elements, are processed lexicographically unless overridden with the
BEFORE: element. If BEFORE: is used then the script is {called|executed}? before
the script named in the BEFORE: statement. Lexicographical processing is then
resumed within the constraints established by the REQUIRE: statements. Maybe that's
what you already said though, or maybe I'm mistaken and it doesn't work like this?
If so please feel free to ignore me. :)
Best Regards,
Duane Whitty
