[yast-devel] y2dir ?
I'm trying to use Y2DIR to temporarily fix an iscsi issue during installation, but I simply cannot get it to work. As far as I can tell from /var/log/yast2/y2log, my Y2DIR setting is being ignored. I've tried starting yast: a) Y2DIR=/my2 yast b) export Y2DIR=/my2 yast In /my2 I have the following: # ls -l /my2 total 120 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87067 Feb 15 06:49 IscsiClientLib.ybc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28721 Feb 15 06:49 IscsiClientLib.ycp I _know_ I had this working last year before Christmas, so it has to be something stupid, but I just cannot see it. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

No idea about Y2DIR, that is handled in yast2-core, which I am not familiar with. If I need to replace parts of a (readonly mounted) installation system, I use bind mounts: mount --bind /my2/IscsiClientLib.ycp /usr/share/YaST2/modules/IscsiClientLib.ycp mount --bind /my2/IscsiClientLib.ybc /usr/share/YaST2/modules/IscsiClientLib.ybc Should do what you want. This way you can modify arbitrary files, not only ycp files. Note that the changes to modules should be done before yast2 is started.

Thanks Thomas, great idea! /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

AFAIR modules still have to be in a modules directory. You have to follow the same structure as in /usr/share/YaST2.
