[opensuse-autoinstall] steps to create an update source
Hi, I have a few custom built RPMs that we would like to install on our SLES 11 and opensuse 11.1 machines via autoyast. I looked around the autoyast website and a few other lists and such and cant' quite get all the parts right to do this. For now I am simply trying to create the update source then I go to a SLES 11 machine and try to add that as a "Software Repository" just to test if the update source works. When I do this I get this error message: "No repository index in content file" Here are the steps I followed to create the update source:
create_update_source.sh dist/ mkdir -p dist/updates/suse/x86_64 cp *.rpm dist/updates/suse/x86_64/ cd dist/updates/suse/ create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV cd setup/descr/ create_directory.yast . create_md5sums .
last I edit the "dist/updates/content" file to look like this:
cat dist/updates/content VENDOR SuSE Linux AG CREATIONDATE 20090329125112 VERSION 1 LABEL My Software
Any ideas as to what I am missing in the creating of the update source that might cause the "No repository index in content file" error message?

in case this helps here is what the directory structure looks like for the update source: dist/ |-- updates | |-- content | |-- directory.yast | |-- media.1 | | |-- directory.yast | | |-- media | | `-- products | |-- packages | |-- packages.DU | |-- packages.en | `-- suse | |-- ppc64 | | |-- mx-1.2.8-6.ppc64.rpm | | |-- panfs-2.6.27.19-5-ppc64-mp-3.4.0-381771.23.sles_11_ppc64.rpm | | |-- pdsh-2.17-1.ppc64.rpm | | |-- pdsh-rcmd-rsh-2.17-1.ppc64.rpm | | `-- pdsh-rcmd-ssh-2.17-1.ppc64.rpm | `-- setup | `-- descr | |-- MD5SUMS | |-- directory.yast | |-- packages | |-- packages.DU | `-- packages.en `-- yast |-- instorder `-- order -----Original Message----- From: Salmon, Rene [mailto:salmr0@bp.com] Sent: Sun 3/29/2009 1:18 PM To: opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-autoinstall] steps to create an update source Hi, I have a few custom built RPMs that we would like to install on our SLES 11 and opensuse 11.1 machines via autoyast.

you should read the description of "create_update_source" on http://www.suse.de/~ug/ That should lead you to an add-on that you can add during a manual installation (try that first before you try to use it in autoyast, so you can be sure your add-on is okay). Use the create_update_source script that is delivered with SLES11/openSUSE11.1 Then you should read: http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/01/opensuse-111-sles11-and-add-ons.html
"No repository index in content file"
hm. I have never seen that. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team 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

Ok I am givin that a try thanks for the links. Here is what i get now. hpci6002:# create_update_source.sh dist/ hpci6002:# mkdir -p dist/updates/suse/ppc64 hpci6002:# cp *.rpm dist/updates/suse/ppc64/ hpci6002:# cd dist/updates/suse/ hpci6002:# create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV hpci6002:# cd setup/descr hpci6002:# ls > directory.yast hpci6002:# cd ../../.. hpci6002:# create_sha1sums -x -n . The "create_sh1sums" command modified my content file and now it looks like this: hpci6002:# cat content BASEARCHS ppc64 DATADIR suse DESCRDIR suse/setup/descr LABEL MY Software META SHA1 b13be3f545d68149e5cd9258ceb48dbc5edb627f packages META SHA1 41b1460da2116281f4bc63de26563210ff47c036 packages.DU META SHA1 118debabb5e3875c6d04ac6efb05627828dcf95a packages.en Now when i go add my software repository I on my sles 11 box I get this message: 'repo2solv.sh '-o-' '/var/cache/zypp/solv/My_software' /var/cache/zypp/raw/My_Software' repo_content 'content' incomplete, no product solvable created! I take it that means there is something wrong with my content file above. Any ideas as to what I am missing?

"No repository index in content file"
hm. I have never seen that.
Read through the blog entry Thanks. Once I get this working I will probably use the easy option which is to add something like this to my auto yast: <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>http://192.168.66.1/11.1_install/updates</media_url> <product>SuSE-Linux-Updates</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> <name>MyUpdates</name> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> Thanks Rene -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
