RE: [suse-autoinstall] applying patches
I'd like to have the machines I build with autoyast to have the latest patches already applied. Obviously, I don't want to have to run Online Update on each machine manually. Does anyone know of a way to apply
patch rpms automatically? I have a a directory tree under /var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/8.0 with all the patches for 8.0. Is there a way to use this directory to
Hello, is it also possible to install the updated packages from the beginning (without update)? All the systems I am installing via autoyast, are freshly installed once a week. So if I could just copy the updated rpms into the installation directory that would be the best way! In case of using YOU it would take quite a long time to install all the packages and update them afterwards...

Hello,
is it also possible to install the updated packages from the beginning (without update)?
Anything is possible... But this requires either a dirty workaround or a complete recreation of the package database avail. on the CDs. 1. dirty hack: Just overwrite the old packages with the new ones 2. create a new common.pkd (suse/setup/descr/common.pkd) This is a simple text based database which contains data from the packages. Using a simple shell script which queries the RPM package will do the job. I once written a script like that, not sure how compatible with current format though (http://www.suse.de/~nashif/makeCommon.sh which should be available online in 1 hour approx.) Anas
