[opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig nohelp
Usage message and man page both refer to "modules", but provide no apparent way to discover what modules exist. How is one supposed to discover what this utility does and can do? The usual switches --help, --? -? -help, -module <emptystring>. The only things it does that are obvious to me are fonts and permissions, though not their module names. Does it do anything else? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

By calling it and see what gets executed. No, that's not a useable output to get an overview of the available modules.

The amount of available modules depend on the particular installed set of packages. Do you think we need something like the attached patch? If you answer the question with yes, please file a bug report with a reference to this thread and report the bug ID back to the list. Feel free to attach the patch to the bug report too. Hey, or play a bit with "osc bco" of the aaa_base package and merge the change. :) Thanks. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

If only I wasn't already behind.... Great thread reply. Thanks! I thought about just filing a bug instead of asking here first, but as SuSEconfig has been around so long I figured I must surely have been missing something when I looked. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

locate SuSEconfig | grep sbin | less -S And then you find that the modules are in "/sbin/conf.d/", and all named SuSEconfig.* - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Please test the resulting packages from the repo I quoted in the bug with comment #1. As soon as Rudi will accept the request you might take it even from the Base:System. As soon as he forwarded it to openSUSE Factory the same applies there too. The submit request you're able to follow here https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/96258
Hey, or play a bit with "osc bco" of the aaa_base package and merge the change. :)
If only I wasn't already behind....
Little step by step OBS session wanted? 0) Install the osc utility. a) Called 'osc bco Base:System aaa_base' to branch and checkout in one shot. b) Modified the script and man page inside the aaa_base tar ball and added a change log hunk to the aaa_base.changes file. c) Called 'osc commit' and waited for the builds to finish. d) Called 'osc sr' e) Updated the bug report with the submit request ID and checked via 'osc maintainer Base:System aaa_base' who the bugowner of aaa_base is. et voilà. :) Yeah, it's Saturday night and I should be in a disco and dance. Instead I'm sitting here think about if I havn't used a basishm. Ok, works even with bash called as /bin/sh.
