I asume that `create_package_descr` will be either completely re-written or replaced by something else? If so, would it be possible to see that? Lars?
Yes: completely re-written. I'm sorry, but I can give no final release date for the new script. Currently we're changing very much and try to integrate things we've "outsourced" to helper scripts bevore (with the intention to make the CD creation process a little bit faster).
huh? guys, you need some more planning+tracking ;)))
In the end we can hopefully create a new package containing scripts for creating installation and update sources, CDs and so on . Currently you can find the latest "official" script in the rpm "autoyast-utils". But this package creation is at the end of a very long "todo" list... :-(
Please also keep us 3rd party packagers in mind when doing all that.
Creating repositories for yast2 is a pain as of now (luckily, createrepo
is very easy to use but doesn't do the repo signing either).
Really, the repository signing thing in 10.1 must be the worst thing you
did to us: no communication or beforehand information at all, barely any
documentation, no ready-to-use scripts and everyone complaining that our
repositories are not signed.
We don't have 40h a week to work on the RPMs we build, so it would be
really nice to have some smarter scripts that do all the necessary stuff
(including repo signing), just as you most probably already have for
Factory.
And, of course, please consider writing a somewhat more extensive
documentation about the whole thing (even if it's just in the wiki).
Thanks ;)
cheers
