[Spacewalk-list] Changeing variables from within snippets

[Matt Bryant]

Was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction.

Currently trying to unify our interactive/non-interactive kickstart file 
so I have added a varaible buildType to the kickstart profile in 
spcewalk which has a default value,

This can obviously  be overriden by cobbler if i define a system with 
the appropriate ksmeta input. What i would also like to do is 
potentially override the value based on user input from %pre stage.

So far nothing I have tried works.

The pre script is python snack script which prompts for buildType ..

I have tried the following

* just setting the value ie buildType = <input>

* writing the string '#set buildType = "<input>"' then #/% include the file

* Same as above but with  '#set global buildType


Is there in fact a way to update variables within kickstart via user 
input ??
