Hi List,
I had problems creating config-files in this way
(either my syntax is wrong, or it's a bug):
(Remark: Between <configure> and </configure> is more stuff
of course, which *did* work - I snipped that in my examples.
The xml itself is correct, says tidy -e -xml  .)
----start-extract-from-NON-working-configuration-xml--
  <configure>
<files config:type="list" >
     <listentry>
        ^^^^^^^^^^

       /etc/zzzz-config-file-creation-test

# test, whether autoyast can add complete config files
# xml-tree: configure->files->listentry->config_file->file-contents
]]>

     </listentry>
        ^^^^^^^^^^^
    </files>
<configure>
----stop-extract-from-NON-working-configuration-xml--
There is an extra tag here which you dont need!

The documentation actually has the following example:

<files config:type="list">

        /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

<![CDATA[
some content
]]>

</files>

Any reason why there is the <listentry> tag?
The listentry tag is a fallback tag name we use to name items in a list
due to the fact that an array or list like this:
    [a,b,c,d]
Does not have an identifier and hence a name is needed.
If the name is not defined, listentry is used.
