Hi List,
I had problems creating config-files in this way
(either my syntax is wrong, or it's a bug):
(Remark: Between <configure> and </configure> is more stuff
of course, which *did* work - I snipped that in my examples.
The xml itself is correct, says tidy -e -xml  .)
----start-extract-from-NON-working-configuration-xml--
  <configure>
<files config:type="list" >
     <listentry>
        ^^^^^^^^^^
      <config_file>
       <file_path>/etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test</file_path>
       <file_contents>
  <![CDATA[
  #####
  # /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test
  # test config file
  #####
# test, whether autoyast can add complete config files
# xml-tree: configure->files->listentry->config_file->file-contents
]]>
       </file_contents>
      </config_file>
     </listentry>
        ^^^^^^^^^^^
    </files>
<configure>

There is an extra tag here which you dont need!

The documentation actually has the following example:

<files config:type="list">
    <config_file>
        <file_path>/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</file_path>
        <file_contents>

<![CDATA[
some content
]]>

        </file_contents>
    </config_file>
</files>

Any reason why there is the <listentry> tag?
The listentry tag is a fallback tag name we use to name items in a list
due to the fact that an array or list like this:
    [a,b,c,d]
Does not have an identifier and hence a name is needed.
If the name is not defined, listentry is used.
