Hi all,

I'm using the Build Service to generate a Vagrant box via kiwi:

https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi/wiki/Building-vagrant-boxes

and I would like to inject into it at build-time a couple of .iso files which are generated by the same Build Service instance (but in a different project). I don't mind whether the .isos are injected as normal files, or are unpacked as part of the injection. But I would really like to do it at build-time if possible.

Since iso files do not provide any provides/requires information this is not easy possible. You have to wrap them into rpm packages to get them installed. You can do so by writing a script and package it as /usr/lib/build/kiwi_post_run this will be executed after the kiwi build, so you can re-package all wanted kiwi resulted files into an rpm and place it inside of the $RPMBUILD/OTHER directory. You need also to override the repo via following in the prjconf, since OBS expects no rpms by default from kiwi builds: Repotype: rpm-md

So is there any way of doing this? I see that kiwi supports the <archive> element but the question is how to reference the .isos as sources. I guess I could use the download_files source service to fetch the .isos into the package prior to build-time, but the names of the .isos change every time they get rebuilt by the BS instance.

please do not do that, it would also archive the iso files forever ... -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
