[opensuse-autoinstall] autoinstall REPO priority ?
hi I'm setting up a Opensuse autoyast profiles that I'll eventually use for populating Xen DomUs For various profiles I'll need different sets of add-on repositories. It's clear how to add the add-ons with medial_utl <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url><![CDATA[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../]]></media_url> But I can't seem to find how to set the repo PRIORITY for each added add-on. I can see the question being asked online since at least 2009. Back then it wasn't available but the dev used "yet" a few times ... I'm assuming enough time's passed. How do you set repo priority in autoyast? hanlon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
I have had a look into the sources. As far I see, you can set "alias" (string) and "priority" (integer) too. It is on the same xml file level as the flags "media_url", "name".... Of course, it is not documented :-( Just give him a try :-) Greetings Stefan Schubert Am 10.02.2015 um 22:20 schrieb h15234@mailas.com:

That's nice to know! h15234: Is this about 13.2? In 13.1 at least, there was a bug that if you added add-on repositories, the install would not finish. I'm currently seeing a similar problem for 13.2, though I can't tell yet if it's really the add-ons. (My install just halts at 27% package installing and then OOMs half an hour later.) -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.

Thanks, that helps! On Wed, Feb 11, 2015, at 03:25 AM, 686f6c6d wrote:

Yep, this is for 13.2. I think I'd read something about a bug like that. Haven't gotten far enough yet here to test the process. Hope it works when I get there. hanlon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, I have update the documentation.

Creating various autoyast profiles you can of course setup in the GUI. For one or a couple, the point & click is OK. For lots of machines+repos it's a pain. At least the way I'm doing it.
From each machine I want to model I can eaily get by SSH it's list of repos in XML format. For example
zypper -x lr <?xml version='1.0'?> <stream> <repo-list> <repo alias="Apache" name="Apache" type="rpm-md" priority="60" enabled="1" autorefresh="1" gpgcheck="1"> <url>http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/openSUSE_13.2/</url> </repo> </repo-list> </stream> To use that in AutoYast though, the XML needs to change format to autoyast XML <?xml version="1.0"?> <!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> <alias>Apache</alias> <priority>60</priority> <media_url><![CDATA[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/openSUSE_13.2/]]></media_url> <product/><product_dir/> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> Is there a straightforward way to do the format conversion? And are ALL the parameters in zypper alias name type priority enabled autorefresh gpgcheck etc supported in AutoYast sources even though they're not documented? It'd be great to have an actual 1-to-1 mapping. Or better, the option to IMPORT a 'zypper lr' XML output file into AutoYast config. Or is there another, better way to get a machine's repo config easily and accurately into Autoyast? hanlon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

No, currently not. AutoYaST has been invented about 8 years before zypper. :-)
And are ALL the parameters in zypper
alias name type priority enabled autorefresh gpgcheck etc
supported in AutoYast sources even though they're not documented?
No, only "alias" and "priority" have been missed. These both entries have been added by created libzypp/zypper. But you can change this settings by calling zypper directly in the AutoYaST installation scripts: http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html#createprofile.s...
It'd be great to have an actual 1-to-1 mapping. Or better, the option to IMPORT a 'zypper lr' XML output file into AutoYast config.
Currently it is not planed. Well, you will have to write it by your own.

It would be pretty easy with xslt (if you are familiar with xslt of course). Write the stylesheet, then run xsltproc. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

The problem probably is something else… A colleague has a working profile with add-on-repos for 13.2, so the problem is somewhere (else) in my profile. (I'll start over with a minimal profile.) -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.
