https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391770 Summary: Autoinstallation Yast feature does not replicate fresh build properly Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: bmynars@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Created an attachment (id=216179) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=216179) Auto build xml file provided as example of descrepancy between what expected and what is achieved. In use: OpenSuse 11.00 Beta 3, KDE4 DVD iso image. Problems: 1) autobuild.xml option at the end of the initial install process is missing. 2) Upon booting to a successful install and trying to create autobuild.xml jusing new autobuild feature in Yast, a number of packages are skipped. Among them: X. How to reproduce: 1) Go to Yast 2) Miscellaneous 3) Autoinstallation 4) Tools -> Create Reference profile That's where the fun part begins. No matter what I select, after saving it to my autobuild.xml file and executing automated install, X is not installed and it only select roughly 350Mb of data. I know this is incorrect because during the initial install I was selecting additional packages to ensure that my installs are all the same. I am providing my autobuild.xml file as a point of reference. If there is anything else you would like me to submit, please, let me know so. Finally, I am not sure why a check box for creating of autobuild.xml was removed at the end of installation process. This was a real time saver in OpenSuSE 10.3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, this defeats the purpose of 'automatic' cloning as at this point, I am not sure if the packages selected are the ones installed during the original build. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can try creating an autoyast file through the YaST module for now. Still, with the patterns list missing (see Bug 393399) and having to select packages by hand (not to mention building an autoyast file by hand, which may or may not create a true clone, as you mentioned), it would be really nice to have the clone functionality fixed for RC1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

...

you have to clone in the UI now. It's not too much more work.

It's not the point. The point is that someone decided to remove a feature that did not require any extra steps, was VERY functional and I was guaranteed my system to be cloned. Now, when you have to do it from the YaST UI, you also have to select packages by hand. That in itself to me ridiculous because it defeats 'rapid' cloning that one was able to do before. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Products/patterns are no longer installed, but the solver computes whether the item is satisfied (i.e. all it's dependencies fulfilled). In order to compute this, we need the items metadata. As they are no longer installed (loaded with the target), they are available from the repositories only. While formerly a Target::init was sufficient, you must now load target and repositories, solve, and then search for satisfied patterns. In the attached log I don't see repositories being loaded before the cloning. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So it looks like the only ways to get clones are to run this process and wait 4 hours, or to do a manual install without Automatic Configuration, and then use the clone checkbox at the end. Also, creating a clone through the autoyast UI (reference profile) is not as automatic as previous comments would suggest. You still have to manually select the additional features you want included, like the firewall configuration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
