Re: Re: How to join multiple parts of one data container

Hi all,
I have a solution (thanks to Bas):

    "level1_ubuntu" data => '@(repos[ubuntu_16])';
    "level1_debian" data => '@(repos[debian_12])';
    "level2_list" data => '[ level1_ubuntu[hwraid], level1_debian[icinga]
]';

That works, but there are too many lines. Is there a better solution?

Thanks
Michal
