It would be nice to know what post script is executing, but do to their nature that is impossible. Would you accept a patch that added --name argument to %post (and %pre) to tell Anaconda what the scriptlet's name is? I am open to other suggestions. Thanks, Christopher

[RFC (crack?)] lang images?
by Bill Nottingham 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

At the point that the loader downloads stage2, it already knows what language the user wanted. If we spilt some locale specific data (translations, fonts) out into their own images (squashfs, cpio, whatever) that the loader can pick up/download, then for cases where they're not needed, the stage2 download can be shrunk by ~20MB or so.

Partition resizing, take 2
by Jeremy Katz 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Okay, newer patch implementing resizing. Still against an older tree (726a485e58706b70c8fb2b9d4febe938a7c88963) but just to get it out there while I work on the fun of rebasing to the current code and merging with dlehman's encryption bits. The patch implements the following: 1) Adds "pulsing progress bars" for GUI where you have the progress bar bounce due to something taking an indeterminate amount of time. We should also be able to use this for other filesystem creation options that we don't know how long they take. For text mode, this just gives a message and no progress bar 2) Moves writing out partitioning and mounting filesystems to be right after the partitioning screen. Note: this still needs something to let the user know that their changes are going to be done immediately 3) Adds support for resizing partitions in the autopart loop. This requires the pyparted patch which I sent last time 4) Determines the maximum size a partition can be grown to 5) Adds support for resizing ext[23] filesystems and determining the minimum size of the ext[23] filesystem 6) Cleans up the graphical UI when editing a pre-existing partition and adds support for resize. Contrast http://katzj.fedorapeople.org/resize-poc.png to http://katzj.fedorapeople.org/new-edit-part-dialog.png At this point, I'm pretty happy with how things are looking and am probably going to go ahead and commit once I get things rebased unless anyone has any strong concerns. There are still some more things which can be done, but they can be easily done as small follow-up patches. Jeremy

Testing anaconda
by Ralf Ertzinger 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi. Assuming I want to start hacking on anaconda: what is the quickest way to test the stuff I built? And this may be a stupid question, but has python got something like perls '-c' (test the files for syntactical correctness, but do not execute)?

Logical volume resizing
by Jeremy Katz 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

To follow up on yesterday's partition resizing patches, I've now got an additional set of patches on top which add support for resizing logical volumes as well. The first is a bit of an infrastructure thing and more in line with the main resizing series and then there's a patch for the backend and one for the UI. Jeremy

Check for RELEASE-NOTES file; locale specific extension doesn't exist
by Ray Van Dolson 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi all, noticed the following when doing an "askmethod" install of CentOS 5.0. I'm not sure if it's truly an anaconda related issue, but figured this would be a good place to start. Basically, if I do an http method installation, the installer looks for the following files on my web server: RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8 RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US However, on my CentOS 5.0 CD, the only files present are: RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-en Obviously, it's trivial to create a symlink or something to fix this, but is there a better way to address this? Should CentOS be providing one of the above files, or should anaconda be requesting one of the lower two filenames instead? Maybe I can just override my locale (LANG) settings somewhere before this step. Any insight appreciated, Ray

Re: Generating comps.xml
by Prasad H.L. 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

As far I know, a tool by name revisor should do what you are suggesting as well as some more things. But, revisor reads from an existing comps file and writes it out into another as per user's selection. It doesnot give support for addiing/modifying/deleting categories and groups in the GUI. Myself and one of my friends are interested in precisely the same. We are modifying revisor's python scripts for doing the same. With Regards, Prasad H. L. ----- Original Message ---- From: Alexander Todorov <atodorov(a)redhat.com> To: Discussion of Development and Customization of the Red Hat Linux Installer <anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2007 3:53:41 PM Subject: Generating comps.xml Hello, I've found this quite old document explaining the comps.xml structure: http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/comps.html It mentions the getfullcomps.py script to generate the package sections of comps.xml. My comps-extras package contains only images and no helper scripts. Is comps.xml produced manually nowadays? Is there any tool to automate comps.xml generation? If not is anybody interested in implementing such a tool? Is there a need for one?
