[opensuse-autoinstall] mta selection 11.4
Hi all, I have the following line in my 11.4 autoyast profile: <mta config:type="symbol">postfix</mta> But, to my big surprise there was no postfix to be found on my installed system. Instead, exim got installed. Is this a known bug or did the xml syntax change perhaps? Karsten. -- Fine day to throw a party.

Did that work in the past? Was postfix installed automatically? Then you probably hit https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679435 That means, autoyast can not post-install packages on it's own anymore with 11.4 A quick look at the code looks like that never worked automatically but maybe I overlooked something in the hurry. You have to add postfix to your packages list - sorry for that. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it did work in the past (with 11.2 and 11.0 at least).

Uhh, that looks ugly. I just noticed that my post-packages didn't work as well. And also, if I use XFS filesystems the xfsprogs don't get installed. This is pretty nasty because XFS filesystems won't get mounted and we use XFS a lot.
A quick look at the code looks like that never worked automatically but maybe I overlooked something in the hurry.

Well, that's what I did for now. And I also had to add xfsprogs. BTW, would the same hack in the control.xml I did for 11.2 work for 11.4? --- control.xml.orig 2010-08-02 15:17:03.431650000 -0400 +++ control.xml 2010-08-02 15:18:06.693320000 -0400 @@ -1390,7 +1390,7 @@ </module> <module> <label>Perform Installation</label> - <name>rpmcopy_secondstage</name> + <name>rpmcopy</name> </module> <module> <heading>yes</heading> Or is it a different kind of problem this time? I haven't tried the above patch yet for 11.4. Karsten. -- I can't understand it.

okay, from the code, that was not so obvious and it looked for me like there was no implementation for that but I did not really dig deep.

hehe :) It's really an interesting workaround and yes, indeed that should work. I like that solution :) -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

That worked, at least for my post-packages! I have postfix now in my package list so I don't know whether it fixed the other issues too.
