[zypp-devel] New Rpm-ecosystem Mailing List
by Florian Festi 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi! tl;td: Join at http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ecosystem if your interested in any part of the rpm ecosystem. While there are quite some mailing lists already that deal with the different tools around and including rpm we realized that there is no good place to discuss issues that involve multiple parts of (our own) package handling stack even less so to stay in contact with other rpm based solutions. To solve this we create a new mailing list: rpm-ecosystem(a)lists.rpm.org Normal user questions and development talk is supposed to stay on the per project mailing lists. The new list is for questions like: * How do other implementations handle specific problems? * Is this new feature interesting for downstream distributions? * How do the different packaging guidelines treat a special topic? * Anyone there to support our demand for this new rpm feature? And it is for topics like: * Packaging guide lines * RPM features * Build systems and compose tools * Dependency solvers, installers and updaters * RPM based image creation / non rpm based updates for rpm based distributions In short: It is meant to bind the rpm universe together. Join at http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ecosystem Please forward this mail to anyone that might be interested - especially to rpm related sub projects and groups. Thanks!

[zypp-devel] detecting an install media based on directory layout
by Olaf Hering 07 May '15

07 May '15

What is the easiest way to decide if a given directory tree from a block device is an install media? In grub2 for Xen PV guests a grub script has to decide if a menu has to be presented or not. The current approach is to do something like r=some_disk if test -e $r/content && test -e $r/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen && test -e $r/boot/x86_64/initrd-xen then show install menu show boot menu else show boot menu fi I wonder if that is robust enough to decide if a given block device is an installation DVD or not. Should the script stat something else, or some additional files to be sure, like /media.1/directory.yast or /media.1/media?
