hi, is there any command line too with which i able to find the whole package list (with all dependencies) generated from a given kickstart files %package section?
I don't think I have such a thing, yet. However, the contents of installation media of course is in cdrom://Packages/, which is that list.
so i do little more investigation and try to manually generate package list and it seems i found a bug in revisor. we usually use pxe to install a new machine and generate kickstart files for the pxe installs. then convert the pxe kickstart file into iso kickstart file by simple replacing the "url --url ..." to "cdrom" and then generate the iso from this kickstart file. suppose a minimal ks file's %package section contains only:
@core @base
-irda-utils
the during the pxe install anaconda do NOT install irda-utils package (which is what i want) while the revisor generated iso will contain irda-utils package. why? irda-utils is among @base group's default packages, but i deselect it. imho it's a bug in revisor.
i use on rhel 5.4 i386: revisor-2.0.5.2-3.el5 anaconda-11.1.2.195-1.el5 busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-7.el5 createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5 livecd-tools-013-8.el5.1 pykickstart-0.43.5-1.el5 rhpl-0.194.1-1 squashfs-tools-3.0-4 yum-3.2.22-20.el5
is there any quick fix for this?
ps. at the same time wouldn't it be possible to run revisor only until "Resolving Dependencies" get the list of collected packages somehow? may be better getting it from anaconda somehow...
any comment on this? what can i do to fix it? thanks.
