[opensuse-autoinstall] xsltproc parameters
Hi list, I'm trying to use xsltproc for merging some autoyast snippets in stage 1. Since I'm not familar with xslt so may be someone can answer my question. I would like to replace a tag and its whole content from modified.xml e.g. partitioning by a partitioning tag from a second xml.file. I don't want to merge it - it should be simple replaced. I tried xsltproc with several parameters but it didn't work like I need it. I started with below line and played with replace, dontmerge parameters and changed the with file and the modified.xml. But still not successful. xsltproc --novalid --param with "'snippet.xml'" --param replace "'false'" --param dontmerge "'partitioning'" --output out.xml /usr/share/autoinstall/xslt/merge.xslt modified.xml Has Anyone an idea?

I don't think merge.xslt can handle that. You'd have to write your own xslt file but because you say you don't know anything about xslt, you should split it into 3 xml files. 2 times partitioning and one all_the_rest.xml Then merge the correct partitioning into the all_the_rest.xml with merge.xslt -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "New World Order" by The Retrosic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

That's exactly how I do it here. The customer didn't want/trust/understand rules and classes, plus they wanted to implement their own selection dialogs. So, I have a "stub.xml" with the basic tags (i.e. empty) and depending on the user selections on the user interface, some pre-defined bits and pieces are merged with xsltproc (partitioning, packages, networking, etc). Not the most elegant solution, but works :) -- -- Erico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
