Christian, you can speedupdate the script a lot by query the rpm once for a single package instead of multiple times. Have a look at the aptate script of apt4rpm project (providing the tools to keep your system up to date, so might want to check those tools as well). Here is an excerpt from the aptate tool: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apt4rpm/apt4rpm/server/aptat… n?rev=1.138.2.31&only_with_tag=libxml2_branch&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-ma rkup RPM_QUALIFIER="RPM_QRYRES RPM_TYPE=%{SOURCERPM}" RPM_QUALIFIER="$RPM_QUALIFIER RPM_NVR=%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" RPM_QUALIFIER="$RPM_QUALIFIER RPM_ARCH=%{ARCH}\n" RPM_OUT=$(rpm -qp -requires --queryformat "$RPM_QUALIFIER" $FILENAME 2>/dev/null) if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then RPM_OUT=$(echo "$RPM_OUT" | sed 's+rpmlib(PatchRPMs).*$+RPM_QRYRES RPM_PATCHRPM=yes+' | grep ^RPM_QRYRES | cut -d" " -f2- ) eval $RPM_OUT aptate can be found at http://apt4rpm.sf.net > builtfrom=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{SOURCERPM}' $1) > rpmgroup=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{GROUP}' $1) > copyright=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{COPYRIGHT}' $1) > author=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{PACKAGER}' $1) > version=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{VERSION}' $1) > release=$(rpm -qp --queryformat '%-8{RELEASE}' $1) -- Richard Bos -- Dit bericht is verzonden met Webmail van Freeler.

Hi, i have problems with creating more than 4 partitions i already updated the installation-cd with package yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27rc3-0.noarch.rpm also the system i use for creating the autoinst.xml is updated to the same version when installing i get the message: Fdisk fehlgeschlagen Die Festplatte weist eine nicht unterstützte Partitionstabelle auf. Partitionieren sie die Festplatte neu. in my poor english: your harddisk has a not supported partitiontable. please create new partitions my autoinst.xml looks like this: <partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list" > <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext2</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <size>30M</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext3</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>2500M</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >swap</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount></mount> <size>256M</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext3</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/var</mount> <size>1500M</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext3</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/tmp</mount> <size>500M</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext3</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/home</mount> <size>max</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> i hope somebody can help me thanks basti

Hello, I have written a script to generate a new common.pkd after an upgrade of the rpms in the installation directory. I hope someone find it usefull. On my server the script takes a long time: # time gen_common_pkd real 8m32.052s user 6m50.890s sys 3m5.250s (Perhaps someone find a solution to make the script faster.)

ldap client problem
by Christian Stoltze 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Hello, I want to use the ldap client feature during an automatic installation but nothing happens. Here are my config settings: <configure> ... <ldap> <ldap_domain>dc=inf,dc=uni-konstanz,dc=de</ldap_domain> <ldap_server>134.34.57.71</ldap_server> <ldap_v2 config:type="boolean" >false</ldap_v2> <start_ldap config:type="boolean" >true</start_ldap> </ldap> ... </configure> After the installation the files /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf are not prepared for ldap-client functionality. If I run "yast2 ldap_client" manually after the installation then I succeed in setting up a ldap client. Of course, I can write a shell script and put it in the <post-scripts> section, but I would rather use the ldap feature <ldap>.
