I have to ask. Why is autoyast being reinvented from scratch with every single release? Every single release has non-trivial changes which lead to non-ending pain &
Since 10.0 (and that was the release I took over autoyast) there was just one incompatibility (selections -> patterns). Everything else should be still compatible. The change from DTD to RNG is no icompatibility. It does not matter for your profile if RNG files are used or DTD files are used to check the syntax.
suffering. Is it too much to expect that a working autoyast.xml from one release continue to work, or at least not fail fatally, in the next release?
no, it's not. If you detect such an incompatibility that is not documented by me, feel free to open a bugreport or ask here on the list. I don't know a lot about autoyast in the pre 10.0 time but I try to keep compatibility as high as possible. I'm sorry if you had compatibility issues in the past but for the future, let me know if you have such problems. And let me know as soon as you discover such a problem please. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
