Hi....
I was just wondering if someone could tell me if it is possible to have
something like the following for a rules.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd">
<autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
<rules config:type="list">
<rule>
<custom1>
<script><![CDATA[
#!/bin/sh
wget -q -O /tmp/dynamic.xml
http://autoyast/cgi-bin/ay_gen.pl?hostname=${hostname}\&hostnetmask=${Netmask}\&hostdefaultgw=${Gateway}\&hostdomain=${Domain}\&hostdisk1=${Disks}\&hostdisk2=
echo -n "modified"
]]></script>
<match>*</match>

try to use a pre-script instead of rules. Use the same script like in the custom rule but store the fetched profile in /tmp/profile/modified.xml -- 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
Hi....
That was what I originally was doing....however, the
/tmp/profile/modified.xml doesn't quite work for me. Not only are my SuSE
config settings dynamically generated (this does work with modified.xml) but
also my post and chroot scripts which I want to run after the OS
installs.....it seems that the scripts are read/generated from the 'first
pass' when /tmp/profile/autoinstall.xml is generated. The only way I could
think of generating everything dynamically was via a rule script.
So back to my original question......can I reference a local .xml file from
the rules.xml file?
Thanx in advance.
Chris Bradshaw.

no, that's not possible. Can't you create the profile on the webserver on the fly? So that the "wget" is nothing more than a way to tell the webserver which profile to create and Autoyast will fetch that then. But I'll take a look at the problem you hit by using a pre-script and will try to fix that for the future. -- 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
Hi....
Thanx for this.
I had already considered creating the profile on the server, and specifying
that in the rules.xml <result> section.
I have since tried it and it does work, but I would have preferred it the
other way. I would just prefer not to create files on the webserver (at
least not on the fly). Also, (as I am sure you are tired of hearing ;-)
RH/FC kickstart does it the other way.....I had started with a kickstart
setup, and was hoping to create an autoyast setup as similar as possible to
the kickstart setup.
Anyway, it works fine creating the profile on the server, but if you do
decide to update autoyast to allow the complete profile to be dynamically
generated (including scripts) that would be great.
Thanx for your help.
Chris.

I've implemented it after I read your mail but I have not tested it until now. So with SUSE Linux 10.1 / SLES10 you can change the scripts section with a pre-script (except for the pre-script itself). -- 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
Great....how do I get access to the update?

you have to wait for beta2 of SUSE Linux 10.1 The fix did not make it into beta1 which will be out in a few days. -- 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
