Hi List,

I had problems creating config-files in this way (either my syntax is wrong, or it's a bug):

(Remark: Between <configure> and </configure> is more stuff of course, which *did* work - I snipped that in my examples. The xml itself is correct, says tidy -e -xml .) ----start-extract-from-NON-working-configuration-xml-- <configure>

<files config:type="list" > <listentry> <config_file> <file_path>/etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test</file_path> <file_contents> <![CDATA[ ##### # /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test # test config file #####

# test, whether autoyast can add complete config files

# xml-tree: configure->files->listentry->config_file->file-contents

]]> </file_contents> </config_file> </listentry> </files>

<configure> ----stop-extract-from-NON-working-configuration-xml--

I expected to find a file named "/etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test" on the new-installed box but found nothing like this in /etc or anywhere else.

My workaround (this does work - at least on my box):

----start-extract-from-WORKING-configuration-xml-- <configure>

<post-scripts config:type="list" > <script> <filename>create-file-workaround</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[ cat << __END__ > /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test-workaround ############ # /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test-workaround # this file is complete nonsense and can be deleted ############ 123 456 # file created with shell script and "here document"

# xml-tree configure->post-scripts->script->source

__END__ ]]> </source> </script>

</post-scripts>

</configure> ----stop-extract-from-WORKING-configuration-xml--

A file named /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test-workaround was created and filled.

So, did I do something wrong in the upper example or can somebody verify this problem?

Best regards,
