[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#550989: ltsp-client-core: getltscfg (lts.conf) should support wildcards

[John S. Skogtvedt]

Package: ltsp-client-core
Version: 5.1.90-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

It would be useful if getltscfg would support wildcards, e.g.:
[00:0C:6E:*]
XSERVER = nvidia

This is very useful in order to have specific settings for a subset of
computers. E.g. when buying a large number of computers of the same
model, they will usually have one or two MAC address series which can be
matched. The alternative is to add a separate section for each
computer, which requires a lot of work.

I have attached a patch which implements this, but while it seems to
work I can't guarantee that it's 100% correct.
