I just posted a script to do just that the other day. See email with subject: [suse-autoinstall] auto-installing with patched OS The script is available at: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoyast2/scripts/create_update_source.sh Anas Marlier, Ian wrote:

I've got a couple of RPMs that I maintain for local install -- apps with non-standard configurations, or apps specific to my network. I'm wondering what the recommended method is for adding them to a SuSE 9.2 distribution for autoinstall...

Is there an option other than copying them into the distribution directory and then rebuilding the distro? Some way to tell autoyast to go somewhere else to find some packages?
