Feature changed by: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Feature #323096, revision 7 Title: Load slideshow from RPM from the product Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With converting DVD installation images from SUSETags to repomd, we need a new location for the slide show. The idea is, to agree on a naming schema, put the slide show in an RPM on the media in the product repo and let the installer search for it there and load it into the inst-sys. Discussion: #1: Kai Dupke (kdupke) (2017-03-20 17:55:40) I set this to mandatory as we need the slideshow still. How this is implemented I let you decide. #2: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2017-03-21 06:48:04) (reply to #1) Loading from RPM is a way which allows use to get the slideshow from rpm-md metadata without adding any SUSE-sepcific stuff. #3: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) (2017-04-07 08:40:48Z) I suggest using `extend`, the same approach as we use for password- check or DUD. We even already have an API for that in Installer. RPM can be even part of the install media repository. ${SHORT_PRODUCT}- slideshow would probably make it. #4: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2017-04-07 12:51:17Z) (reply to #3) This will not work if the slideshow is only abvailable as a package in the repository - this would require putting it to the installer and build it as part of installation images and similar (meta-)packages. (currently, we duplicate such packages on the media) In principle it would work as well, though. We just need to adjust the media layout accordingly then. + #5: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) (2017-04-18 13:14:05Z) (reply to #4) + OK, then we probably don't want to use `extend`. The fact is, that this + script downloads packages from a special place on the media, so we + can't really call it a product repository. While the major idea behind + seems to be SUSETags removal, we could, in fact, use updated version of + slideshow when it's actually downloaded from, e.g., the Update channel + (which we use during installation by default anyway). + In this case, we'll need a shared API that would download the latest + package from installation repository and link the content to the inst- + sys. Downloading can be done by libzypp/pkg-bindings, extending by inst- + sys, the rest (missing implementation) is the glue between them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/323096
