Playing with Uyuni XMLRPC API using Python demo videos!
by Pablo Suárez Hernández 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hi there! this is just a short announcement, to let you know that we have published two small demo/tutorial videos in our Uyuni Youtube channel about "Playing with Uyuni XMLRPC API using Python". The idea of these videos is to give you a quick overview and examples that help you to understand how you can interact with the Uyuni XMLRPC API and how easy is to do it using Python. The videos are around 5 minutes long each so they are easy to consume: - Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gItPMQfQyG0 - Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjCXCvTzx8U I hope these are helpful for you! Cheers, Pablo -- Pablo Suárez Hernández - <psuarezhernandez(a)suse.de> SUSE Manager Development Team SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg

Adapting Uyuni-Server-release
by Stefan Bluhm 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Hello, last package that I need adapting for Enterprise Linux is "Uyuni-Server-release.rpm". Can you tell me how to go about that one? Uyuni-Server-release.spec has the placeholder(?) ___PRODUCT_DEPENDENCIES___ How is that one filled (and with what)? Also there is _service:product_converter:Uyuni-Server-release.spec . I assume i shouldn't touch that one? How do I have to update it? Thank you and best wishes, Stefan
