Some thoughts on this one: 1) you said the "standard" image building procedure would require packages which does not exist on the suse version/CD/DVD you are using. The problem is that I took care on exactly that issue. For example the netboot image descriptions for suse-10.2 does not include aufs whereas for suse-10.3 it is included. So the question is how do you ran into that problem ? what image are you building ? If you for example building the liveDVD from the description named "kwliveDVD-suse-10.3" you need a 10.3 source tree using a 10.2 source will not work because it doesn't match the description 2) you don't need a network location in order to build an image. The source can be local. The easiest way is to use an original DVD and mount it. 3) If there are packages missing which you need or which you have built yourself put them into a directory and add the following source into the config.xml <repository type="rpm-dir"> <source path="/something/is/missing"/> </repository> 4) The suggestion you made that kiwi should be able to create installation sources is currently addressed. It's a good idea but it needs some time to become implemented. You can see the partial implementation behind the kiwi option "--create-instsource" for point 1) in the list I appreciate your feedback Thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
