Feature changed by: Sascha Peilicke (saschpe) Feature #310299, revision 5 Title: Pattern Generator - Buildservice: Unconfirmed + Buildservice: Rejected by Sascha Peilicke (saschpe) + reject reason: Unclear benefits on top of editing pattern files + directly. Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Feature Request for Pattern Generator Idea: I would like to have a program (Console), that reads in a plain/text File with the needed Packages and creates as output a Pattern File, that can be used in the Buildservice or Susestudio. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Through the plain/text file it is easy to manage new and present Packages. And an easy to use pattern creating process. Discussion: #1: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) (2010-08-08 13:17:16) I don't get it, what exactly do you want? a Console program that reads in a text file with what, a list of packages, as in RPM packages? Isn't that what a Pattern file is? #2: Sascha Manns (saigkill) (2010-08-08 15:23:50) Hello Jos, My idea is the following. I've created a Appliance for openSUSE medical. My wish is that i can create a textfile with all my needed Packages for that Appliance. Then i wish to read in that Packages and make a pattern file with a cli. The output should be a pattern file. So i can use that file in upcoming versions of openSUSE medical. Because i have a handselected blend, and i don't wish to make that every time new. I can imagine that we can can split the textfile into a normal choose section and a suggested section. So i can split my packages into that 2 sections. #3: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) (2010-08-08 21:45:03) Hmmm. Now I'm not incredibly at home in SUSE studio but can't you just clone your appliance if you want to make a new version and then upgrade and change whatever you want? + #4: Sascha Peilicke (saschpe) (2010-12-17 15:06:34) + This sounds like re-inventing pattern files to generate pattern files. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310299
