After looking at pkgorder it seems it has a hardcoded list of groups it adds for resolving the order. Maybe a 'fallback' to add any remaining groups that were not selected yet would be a good improvement of pkgorder? (and a solution to this problem). I'll see if I can come-up with a patch to pkgorder that does this. Best regards, Jeroen Janssen

[PATCH] Add --exclude option to kickstart repo command
by Ed Swierk 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

yum allows configuring each repository to exclude certain packages from view, which is handy to ensure that packages in a local repository take precedence over whatever happens to be in the fedora-updates repository. These patches are my attempt to add an --exclude option to the kickstart repo command (although I'm not sure whether this is the correct venue for pykickstart changes). --Ed

Re: pungi ignores a lot of RPMs when building CD image

Hello All, I got it! but, it is very strange... ;-)) I debugged the pkgorder script and found the following: * At the routine 'processTransaction()' the complete lists of dependencies is available, then it calls the routine printMatchingPkgs() to print the packages to standard, after it has checked that they are available. * The filemask that is passed to printMatchingPkgs() through 'fpattern', is build up as follows: <os-dir>/Product/package*. Where Product starts with a capital, but my product_name in the pungi configuration does NOT star with a capital. So, the product-dir in the os-dir does not start with a capital. So, no dependency files can be found, leaving a os-disc1 with just a few files in it... I searched through the entire tree several times, but nowhere I have listed the productname with a capital, so this capital must be introduced by the tooling itself ! (Fedora also starts with a capital... Redhat also, and probably other distros using anaconda also?) So, to be able to build a customised CD, you must use a product_name in Pungi that starts with a capital. I have changed this in my build environment and now it works! I believe the problem is introduced by collecting the dependencies in the routine addGroups() -> ds.ResolveDeps() in the pkgorder script. For me it is going to deep in the external tooling, which I do not fully understand yet how they work. Maybe someone else recognises this phenomenon and can pick it up from here? Or if someone can give me some tips on this, I can look further into it...

FC6 and iw/netconfig_dialog.py
by Vincent Fonteneau 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hi, I'm trying to install the FC6 distribution and i've encoutered some problems vith adding new repository. In fact I' ve configured the network during installation and when trying to add other repository installation I'm getting this error: Tracebakc (most recent call first) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/netconfig_dialog.py", line 69, in _netdevChanged if netdev.get("ipaddr"): self.xml.get_widget("ipv4AddressEntry").set_text(netdev.get("ipaddr")) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_text' Is it normal ? Then if i'm trying to re-install the FC6 using dhcp and then adding new repository and then using again dhcp network configureation, it seems to work. Is there a patch or some coorections for that, b'cause i would like to add repository without using dhcp during network installation ? Thank for help Vincent
