Hello, I see with b156/157 the distribution constructor xml config file format has completely changed, as well as the location of the step/checkpoint scripts. For my (custom) distribution I had so far added a couple of my own steps and and they are written in ksh and perl. The new concept seems to require all code for the steps to reside somewhere south of $PYTHONLIB and be written in python, e.g. as specified in mod_path from dc_livcd.xml: <checkpoint name="set-ips-attributes" desc="Set post-install IPS attributes" mod_path="solaris_install/transfer/ips" checkpoint_class="TransferIPS"/> Is there indeed no way anymore to have custom checkpoint scripts that are not written in python? If somebody could confirm that would be great. On another note, I also found that the new xml config file format does not accept xml comments when inserted inside the <software_data ....> xml tags. The related python scripts that process them, will just barf when they process them, even though this is obviously valid xml. Here is an example of a modified dc_slimcd.xml section , that makes this easily reproducable ... <software_data action="" type="IPS"> <name>pkg:/entire</name> <name>pkg:/slim_install</name> <name>pkg:/system/install/gui-install</name> <name>pkg:/system/install/media/internal</name> <!-- test comment --> <name>pkg:/developer/dtrace</name> </software_data> ... # distro_const build ./dc_livecd.marcus.xml ... 16:43:08 Build datasets successfully setup 16:43:08 Simple log: /rpool/dc_b157/logs/simple-log.2011-01-27.16:43 16:43:08 Detail Log: /rpool/dc_b157/logs/detail-log.2011-01-27.16:43 16:43:10 Creating IPS image 16:43:38 Installing packages 16:43:44 Error occurred during execution of 'transfer-ips-install' checkpoint. 16:43:44 'transfer-ips-install' checkpoint failed 16:43:44 The following pattern(s) did not match any packages in the current catalog. Try relaxing the pattern, refreshing and/or examining the catalogs: test comment <name>pkg:/entire</name> <name>pkg:/slim_install</name> <name>pkg:/system/install/gui-install</name> <name>pkg:/system/install/media/internal</name> <name>pkg:/developer/dtrace</name> Thanks in advance, --Marcus |
