FOOMN=VALUEMN variable block M -------------------------------------------------------- Further, I think deletion of variables should be prohibited or documented (if it's not yet) too, because ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # help 1 # deleted FOO="value" from here ## Default: no # # help 2 # BAR="no" will - break yast2 sysconfig help; whole block above BAR="no" will be taken as comment to BAR. Fortunately metadata are interpreted right way. - lead to use FOO="new-value" from new sysconfig file during update. Merged file can then look like ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # new help 1 FOO="new-value" ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # help 1 # deleted FOO="value" from here ## Default: no # # help 2 # BAR="no" (So something not expected by user I guess.)
