https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633667 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633667#c0 Summary: Kiwi should process control.xml Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: pzb@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com CC: jpr@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- SUSE products have a control.xml file that has certain settings that are specific to the product that need to be applied after package installation. These are primarily in the globals section and include things like default polkit privileges, rules on who can shutdown the machine from the GUI, etc. Kiwi should read this file and handle at least some of these settings during the prepare phase. -- 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.

If installing the product is not enough to achieve what you want then I'd like to know how these settings can be done with yast, Jiří ? @pzb: you weren't very detailed in what settings should cause what reaction in what file, etc... this is a bit too generic for a bug report :-) Thanks -- 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.

A couple of clarifications: - /etc/YaST2/control.xml is the same as the control.xml on the media; no need to download it :) - I will try to document some of the settings I have noticed not being applied -- 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 guess there is something wrong in your configuration file. -- 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.

The problem is not that the file is not present, rather Kiwi does not do anything with it. There are various default settings defined in control.xml that need to be applied to the system. Currently there is no way to do this. -- 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.

IMHO if one wants to have contol file settings applied, he has to use other standard way of installation. Anyway, let's ask Lukas. -- 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.

It is quite complex and supports several features that are not only handled by the installation / upgrade framework but also by another modules like 'partitioner', 'language settings', 'software repositories' etc. IMO it's too complex to be rewritten to kiwi but it might make sense to choose some most important pieces. Documentation for the control file can be found here: http://chorgan.provo.novell.com/yast/doc/SLES11/tdg/inst_in_general_chap.htm... Control file documentation (mentions all the features with a short comment) is documented here: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/installation/control/control.rnc -- 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.
