Test failure is due to spellchecker issue stfc/markdown-spellchecker#11. @jrha do you prefer that I add the necessary entries in the dictionary to make the spell checker happy or do we live with these errors until the issue is fixed (probably better than polluting the dictionary if there is any hope to fix the issue in the coming months... |

I was referring to the link errors from htmlproofer:
There is one real spell checker error, feel free to ignore the false ones, it's probably better not to pollute the dictionary, the fix should be trivial. |

@jrha sorry I didn't see your original comment, mine was not an answer to yours, just a general remark! I think I fixed the real error but I let you confirm that the ones remaining are ok. |

I've never seen this variable before so shouldn't really comment on it but -yd seems an odd suffix to me?

@ned21 this variable is used by the template library as a template name suffix in various places where we wanted to support both the SPMA package list and a YUM-based package list. For backward compatibility, without the suffix you were getting the SPMA list and you needed to have this variable defined to -yd to get the YUM-based list. I don't even remember why -yd (y was probably for YUM). I think we may clean up this in the future as I don't think there are many non YUM system left nowadays but it is important to have this variable defined if you use the template library. Else several pieces don't work as expected.

The comment about the standard definition being done to late is due to the fact that this variable is defined in quattor/client/config which is included in final.pan with Aquilon (as it has a dependency on the OS version variable which is not yet available in base.pan (typically defined in the OS template).

Most of the content here is related to parts of Quattor we don't use but nothing looks incorrect from an Aq perspective. |

@jouvin I am not familiar with much of the material here so would prefer someone else to do the final review. |
