Current best practise for me:

1) Have a local mirror of the later used - external - repositories In case the external side has removed the repo ( like for OS 10.3) you have a local one :-)

...

2) During autoyast installation only the images from the official release incl. Updates is used

...

So how do you mangage the install repo? oS provides a repo for the initial installation and one for updates.

Do you merge these packages to one directory which is then given as install= parameter?

I never mess around with the repros created from the DVD or with update repos because it must work every time .... Thus in conjunction with the base OS repro i added a update location to the autoinst.xml In the example the update was an mirror from a external side ( As of 2009/11/06) . For SLES versions i mirror novell and/or use the SP images as well Example: ..... <!DOCTYPE profile> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>http://10.1.1.13/export/mirror/20091106/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/11.1</media_url> <product>SuSE-Linux-Updates</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> <bootloader> .... ....
