[opensuse-autoinstall] postinstall script questions
Hi,
I have some post installation scripts that I would like to call from
my generic autoyast.xml file. This involves three related questions :
1) One file reads,
# cat ntp.conf.sh
<source>
<![CDATA[
cp -f /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.original.autoyast
cat > /etc/ntp.conf << EOF
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp
keys /etc/ntp.keys
trustedkey 1
requestkey 1
server 10.254.26.3 iburst
restrict 10.254.26.2
restrict time.versatel.com
EOF
chmod 640 /etc/ntp.conf
chown root:ntp /etc/ntp.conf
]]>
</source>
How would I reference this in the autoyast.xml script.
2) I would like to create separate package installation XML files that
can be called by autoyast depending on what will be installed. One such
file might read:
# cat postinstall-squid.xml
<software>
<packages config:type="list">
<package>squid</package>
</software>
Where in the autoyast.xml would I call this and how.
3) Finally. if I add the package squid to the list of packages to be
installed, then will autoyast install and add the nessecary user, or
will I have to add the squid user into the postinstall-squid.xml with
something like:
<user>
<encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted>
<fullname>WWW-proxy squid</fullname>
<gid>65534</gid>
<home>/var/cache/squid</home>

I let others to answer questions 1 & 2, but this is an easy one:

The answer is yes. If you install squid (with autoyast or in any other way), the RPM package already contains a scriptlet executed in the course of its installation that will create squid user. See: kmachalkova@opice:/work/SRC/all/squid> cat squid.spec | grep -B1 useradd AutoReqProv: on PreReq: /usr/sbin/useradd, %insserv_prereq, %fillup_prereq -- %pre /usr/sbin/useradd -r -o -g nogroup -u 31 -s /bin/false -c "WWW-proxy squid" -d /var/cache/squid squid 2> /dev/null || : So - no need to create squid user additionaly in the autoyast profile hB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Marvellous news about the squid user. Thank-you Katarina. Katarina Machalkova wrote:

So - no need to create squid user additionaly in the autoyast profile

multiple options here. You can use a post-script to do exactly what you have pasted above: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/createprofile.scripts.html you can use the <files> section to let autoyast copy that content to the right place: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/createprofile.completeconf.html you can use the autoyast UI to configure the NTP like you want and let autoyast do the configuration freedom of choice :)
2) I would like to create separate package installation XML files that can be called by autoyast depending on what will be installed. One such file might read: # cat postinstall-squid.xml <software> <packages config:type="list"> <package>squid</package> </software>

you should use rules for that: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.html rules can put multiple XML snippets together to one complete file, depending on things you can only know during installation time. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) 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
Hi Uwe, I noticed that the <location> is listed as HTTP. Is there a way to use NFS instead? <location>http://10.10.0.1/myScript.sh</location> Should I place this at the end of the autoyast.xml, but afore the </profile> tag? e.g. <postpartitioning-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <location>http://10.10.0.1/myScript.sh</location> </script> </postpartitioning-sripts> </profile> Uwe Gansert wrote:

yes. Everything that works for autoyast=... works as <location> too.
<location>http://10.10.0.1/myScript.sh</location>
Should I place this at the end of the autoyast.xml, but afore the </profile> tag? e.g.
yes
<postpartitioning-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <location>http://10.10.0.1/myScript.sh</location> </script> </postpartitioning-sripts>
it must be between <scripts> tags too Please read the documentation and the examples for scripts.
</profile>
but don't use <postpartitioning> for the ntp.conf use a post-script -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Golgotha" by :Wumpscut: -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
