Hi! In order to allow workflows bound to patterns we need to extend the pattern definition on the media as well as the database and in-memory representation of a pattern. We need following tags: "workflow_file" : string // file describing the workflow on the media "workflow_file_checksum" : the same as other checksums "workflow_order" : string // to allow ordering, string for better extendibility (the names can be adapted to fit attribute naming schema) The suggestions for the SuSEtags metadata format are =Wkf =WkfCSum (if not specified in content file) =WkfOrd ZYPP is not required to process this data anyhow (maybe except the checksum?), all that's needed is to deliver the data to YaST. The update of package bindings will be trivial. The document is (inside Novell network) available at http://users.suse.cz/~locilka/PatternsAndAddOnsWithWorkflows/proposal-2007-0... Duncan, Jano, is it possible to get this implemented for 10.3? -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST Team Leader --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain@suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 959 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
