[Bug 238165] New: zypper: support installation of packages in optional root directory
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238165 Summary: zypper: support installation of packages in optional root directory Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: kkaempf@novell.com ReportedBy: ms@novell.com QAContact: kkaempf@novell.com the command: zypper install package(s) will install the package in the current system tree under the root path "/" There is no possibility to specify another root patch under which the packages should be installed. It would be very nice if zypper supports generating a new RPM database plus install of packages under the new root. The reason for this enhancement is the possibility to use zypper to create operating system images. Currently smart is used to do the job but zypper is missing only this feature to serve as an replacement Thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have tested --root support and unfortunately it doesn't work. Here is
what I did:
zypper --root /tmp/kiwi.L29034 \
service-add --type YaST file:///image/dist/full-10.2-i386 kiwi1-29028
zypper --root /tmp/kiwi.L29034 \
install -y devs filesystem glibc-locale rpm smart zypper
The result is:

I found that the service-add routine tries to read the patterns from the meta data and if it can't find the data it asks for retry: Please insert media [File ./suse/setup/descr/apparmor-10.3-27.i586.pat not found on media: file:/image/CDs/full-i386 ] # 1. Retry [y/n]: There is no possibility in zypper to have a switch which allows non interactive actions. In principal no problem but the behavior is different per action. Sometimes you need to say "yes" to proceed sometimes you need to say "no". It's rather difficult to use something like this within an automated process. Right now I have pattern "apparmor-10.3-26.i586.pat" but zypper want apparmor-10.3-27.i586.pat which is because machcd2/consistent is not consistent. Anyway this is not fatal I think I could live with the pattern not being read in but the problem is when to say "y" and when "n" It ends up in an endless loop because the answer in kiwi is by default "yes" which means in that case retry reading the pattern until end of days Would you mind to think about zypper as standalone application usable in scripts or controlled by a GUI... many questions at that level make life very hard .. stop testing now Thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
