- When I ran create_package_descr, it complained about extra_provides: file setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV not found! The earlier "create_update_source.sh", however, *did* create such a file in PATH/updates - do I need to worry about that?
hmm. Like I mentioned out before, I'm not an expert on that topic but I don't get that error message here. The output of create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV -l english -l spanish -l french -l german -l czech -l hungarian -l italian using settings: datadirs: . languages: english,spanish,french,german,czech,hungarian,italian output dir: ./setup/descr/ is not a directory: ignoring extra_provides: setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -name, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments. done processed 1 packages now recoding to UTF-8: packages packages.DU packages.en packages.es packages.fr packages.de packages.cs packages.hu packages.it The warning looks a little bit strange. I should look into that by time but at the end everything works like expected.
- Do I understand this correctly: the autoinstall process will automagically find the "updates" directory? How does that work?
It's YaST that will find that directory, so even in a manual installation the directory will be found. It's no autoinstallation magic but a feature of yast to check the "yast/order"+"yast/instorder" files for installation sources and if you check the content of those files, you'll see that the "/updates" directory was added to them. I'll read you other mail now. It arrived while I wrote this one. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
