Custom RPMs SLED 10 RC3
Hi list, I'm trying to add some custom RPM's to a SLED10 autoinstall using a customized DVD. The basic autoinstall works well. I understand that the simple recreation of the package database and the <package>rpm</package> section in autoinst.xml is not working for this anymore. So I have created a directory in the DVD root with a new tree using the create_update_source.sh script, copied a test RPM there and build the package database. As stated in the docs. And I even disabled the signature check. The add_on_products file in the DVD root looks like dvd:///updates It is not really clear to me how the add-on stuff works. So I did add a <addons config:type="list"> <addon>updates</addon> </addons> to the xml file. It's not working and I will spare the details because I think I am doing something wrong. Do I need to add more to the xml file? Like a selection? The docs are a pretty secretive on this, could someone shine a bit of light on this?. Cheers, Goetz
Ok, I am really confused. So no selections anymore, but how are the add-ons supposed to work? And where is this catalog? The content file? Goetz

Hm, a monolog. I found the instructions to create the content file in the create_update script. But I still get "Failed to add add-on product". Goetz

Here is a description of how to setup an additional YaST source.
I you want to create an additional source in your DVD , you should perform the
following steps:
1. create your directory $myproducts # in root of your DVD source
2. cd $myproducts
3. mkdir media.1
4. $EDITOR media.1/media #see above URL for explanation
5. $EDITOR content #see above URL for explanation
6. mkdir RPMS
7. mkdir RPMS/noarchs || mkdir RPMS/i586 || mkdir whatever( depends on
your architecture
8. copy your rpms to RPMS/$ARCH
9. ls -A1 > directory.yast
10. create_package_descr -d RPMS/
You have now an additional yast source. Test it with yast ( Software -->
Add-on-Product ).

Hallo Frank, danke. Hilfe aus Toronto ist immer willkommen. I got it finally running myself late last night. My problems where mainly due to not following docs to the letter and reading Uwe's scripts helped, too. So anybody trying to do the same: Frank's instructions are good, the link to OpenSUSE is helpful. But Uwe's docs alone are sufficient if you follow them step-by-step and don't stay awake for too long... ;-) Cheers, Goetz
