Hi, I tried to make a use of for copying a prepared configuration for autorpm to the clients' /etc directory. The autoinstall-gui coming with yast2 doesn't support that feature, so I added the following lines to the control file by hand: ------- [...] <files config:type="list" > /etc/autorpm.d/autorpm.conf <![CDATA[ ########################################################## # $Id: samples.conf,v 1.4 1998/03/20 00:35:59 kirk Exp $ ########################################################## ########################################################## # Put the email address of the person to receive the reports from # AutoRPM (usually the system administrator) Set_Var("ReportDest","Christian.Schromm@erlf.siemens.de"); # This is whoever you want the report on what actually happened # (i.e. abc-1.6 was installed... bbb-2.1 failed to be installed) # to go to. Report_Queues_To ("${ReportDest}"); # This is what you would run on the client machines, # assuming the server's /updates directory is mounted # on /mnt/updates: directory ("/usr/local/dist/suse8.0patches") { # Since there is no Compare_To_Dir, the files # will be compared to the local RPM database. action (updated) { Install (Auto); Report (Yes); } } ]]> </files> [...] ----- When I reopened the control file with the yast2-autoinstall-gui the passage above was changed to ----- [...] <files config:type="list" > <listentry> ########################################################## # $Id: samples.conf,v 1.4 1998/03/20 00:35:59 kirk Exp $ ########################################################## ########################################################## # Put the email address of the person to receive the reports from # AutoRPM (usually the system administrator) Set_Var(&quot;ReportDest&quot;, &quot;Christian.Schromm@erlf.siemens.de&quot;); # This is whoever you want the report on what actually happened # (i.e. abc-1.6 was installed... bbb-2.1 failed to be installed) # to go to. Report_Queues_To (&quot;${ReportDest}&quot;); # This is what you would run on the client machines, # assuming the server's /updates directory is mounted # on /mnt/updates: directory (&quot;/usr/local/dist/suse8.0patches&quot;) { # Since there is no Compare_To_Dir, the files # will be compared to the local RPM database. action (updated) { Install (Auto); Report (Yes); } } /etc/autorpm.d/autorpm.conf </listentry> </files> [...] ---- The <![CDATA[ ... ]]> tag was gone, <listentry> replaced , and the content was merged into one line, resulting in one huge comment. Is this a known bug? any hints? -- Bye, Christian Schromm
