We would like to have a single Add-on CD for sles10-i386, sles10-x86_64, sles11-i386, and sles11-x86_64.
Is this possible?
Can someone give us pointers on how to accomplish this?
(I'll copy here my answer I already sent to Bart earlier, in case others are interested) Hi Bart, I think using both SLE10 and SLE11 doesn't make much sense. Theoretically, you could put all your packages to one media, but that's basically all. You couldn't use any product dependency and user would probably need to manually select packages for installation according to the base product he is using. So, it is probably possible, but I don't think you'd like the result. Creating bi-arch Add-Ons should be possible with YaST module, but there's currently an issue not allowing patterns with same name but different architecture (bnc#484762). The rest should work: when user will be adding new add-on, zypp will care about installing proper packages for target machine. If you intend to use YaST Add-On Creator, make sure to use the one from SDK10 for SLE10 products and the latest one (SDK11 or STABLE) for SLE11 products: the product definitions changed quite a lot. Build service team would know more. -- Jiri Suchomel SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: jsuchome@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Praha 9, Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
