I'm trying to make myself a custom package set, by using the command: create_package_descr -o setup/descr/ -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV as suggested by Ole Streicher, and as contained in section 4.5.3. I do get the "not a directory" warning, and it continues, and seems to complete just fine, claiming to have processed 7233 packages. If I look in the file "packages", I can see my new packages in it. (This repository is a duplicate of the standard SuSE 9.2 Professional one, with one extra .sel file and three new packages added, as a test to start out.) But when I start YaST afterwards, pointed at this repository, many, many packages seem to be missing! I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for here. All I did was, I added a file "Maxtor-9.2-i586.sel", which has =Ord: 150 (I'm not at all sure what that is for!) and three packages in the +Ins: section, and is otherwise pretty much identical to the other .sel files. I also added Maxtor-9.2-i586.sel alphabetically in the list in both "selections" and "directory.yast". Did I miss something? I noticed that the file MD5SUMS is not updated; do I need to regenerate this?
