I am trying to do a merge of 7 different classes with each one having different sysconfig entries and it is not working. is there something i need to be doing on the initial control file? Where do i put the classes in the initial control file?, do i put it in the <install> section or the <configure> section? Could someone give me some help on this? Thanks, Cameron

your sysconfig entries from one class are overwritten by the ones from later classes right? That's because the merge process works a little bit different than one would expect. I have changed that for SLES10/10.1 for about 10 values in the profile, so that it acts more like one would think the merging works. sysconfig_entry is now one of this values.

it might help to configure the same sysconfig_entry multiple times in the "early" classes. Then later classes can overwrite some of them - that's a very ugly workaround though. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

So this code will not be back ported to SLES 9 at all? -Cameron

I think the next service pack will have that fix too. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

so SP4 will have the fix in it?, is there a bugzilla tht references this?, or should i get a bugzilla going so that we can be sure that it does get backported? -Cameron

unless I'll see problems with that solution until then. It's new code.

please create a bugzilla entry for SLES9. Thanks. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

I have changed that again. I wasn't happy with the static list of elements that are merged different. It's configureable now. Look here for documentation: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/merging.html I hope that's a more flexible solution and it will still fulfill eveybody's needs. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
