Running 0.9.4pre2 on RHEL4, with lxml 0.9.2.

In /var/lib/bcfg2/Deps/bcfg2-server.xml, I was trying to put in a couple of comments to identify packages that are dependencies of the bcfg2-server reporting engine, and which are dependencies of the bcfg2-admin viz command, but this breaks the bcfg2 client. The bcfg2-server.xml file that I was trying to use reads

[[email protected] Deps]$ cat ./bcfg2-server.xml 
<Dependencies priority='0'>
    <Package name='bcfg2-server'>
        <Package name='python-cheetah'/>
        <Package name='gamin-python'/>
    <!--  Packages for the bcfg2 server reporting engine.  -->
        <Package name='httpd'/>
        <Package name='sqlite3'/>
        <Package name='pysqlite2'/>
        <Package name='django'/>
        <Package name='mod_python'/>
    <!--  Packages for the bcfg2-admin viz command.  -->
        <Package name='graphviz'/>
    </Package>
</Dependencies>
[[email protected] Deps]$ bcfg2-repo-validate 

The error that shows up in /var/log/messages with this config file (from bcfg2 -q -v -n) reads

Given that there are at least two drivers that conflict with each other (RPM and Yum) it would be nice to have the following features:

1. ability to get a list of available drivers: e.g. bcfg2 -D help could spit out the list of drivers for that client.
2. ability to restrict the drivers used via /etc/bcfg2.conf on the client. This would allow people to select between RPM and Yum without specifying -D on the command line all the time.
3. Log warnings when -D arguments are `wrong' (syntactically wrong, no such driver exists etc.)

It would be nice to be able to manage the clients.xml file via a version control system. Right now this will not work, since the pingtime field gets updated (and the file contents restored to whatever is in the server memory).
