Feature changed by: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) Feature #305313, revision 10 Title: creating nonexistent directories with Autoyast openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Uwe Gansert (ug) Description: from bug #429491 It should be possible to create directories just like files with its permissions and ownership. Today it is impossible (using just "files") to put for example /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. To anticipate possible comments, the "file_script" is not IMHO the right way to deal with the problem since it is invoked after writing the file to a filesystem. Yet it may be considered a workaround as of today. Discussion: #1: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2009-01-23 14:19:55) up for Engineering's comment. Is workaround adequate ? #2: Milisav Radmanic (radmanic) (2009-04-16 14:06:01) The workaround is effective but technically not adequate. We should support creating directories like we do it for files. The request is off the mailinglist and makes sense. + #3: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2009-05-28 16:41:02) + Isn't it better to have support for untarring root.tar.gz to the + filesystem like kiwi does? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305313
