[izpack-devel] mutually exclusive packs

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Vladimir,
today I have tested a little bit.
If the exclusion will be declared as full cross references 
it works fine.

But what should be happen with
pack1 excludes pack2
pack2 excludes pack3
pack3 excludes pack1

If I select first pack1 and then pack2 both are selected.
If I select first pack2 and then pack1 only pack1 is selected.

Not a real szenario? May be, but I am certain that someone
does it in the future and calls why this not work as he/she assumed.
Therefore we should clear this in front.
I tend to say that an implicit backward exclusion should be
performed; means
If I selct first pack1 and then pack2 only pack2 is selected.
If I selct first pack2 and then pack1 only pack1 is selected.

What is your meaning, what say the others?

Cheers

Klaus
