autoyast for opensuse 12.3

shaving the yast

So I wanted to have a play with packer but decided to have a look at autoyast while I am at it.

OpenSuSE 12.3 has a bug [BNC#801878] though that prevent the network and ssh to be started up.

And it seems the does not work as expected either since if always shut it down, or with updates enabled created an additional interface.

ended up not caring about the package updates (since the vagrant box would be outdated anyway) and instead doing this:

 <noscripts>
    <chroot-scripts config:type="list">

        <!&#8212; FIXING BNC#801878 &#8212;>

        <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash

        sed -i &#39;s/.<strong>(/sbin/runlevel.</strong>)/SYSTEMCTL_OPTIONS="" 1/&#39; /mnt/usr/lib/YaST2/servers_non_y2/ag_initscripts
        ]]>
        </source>
      </noscript>
    </chroot-scripts>
    <postpartitioning-scripts config:type="list">

        <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash

         httpServer=$( grep AutoYaST /etc/install.inf | sed &#39;s~.<strong>(http://.</strong>/).*~1~&#39; )
         httpUrl="${httpServer}/id_rsa_packer_images.pub"

         rootSsh=/mnt/root/.ssh
         mkdir -p ${rootSsh}
         wget "${httpUrl}" -O ${rootSsh}/authorized_keys
         chmod -R og-rwx ${rootSsh}

         verpackerSsh=/mnt/home/verpacker/.ssh
         mkdir -p ${verpackerSsh}
         wget "${httpUrl}" -O ${verpackerSsh}/authorized_keys
         chmod -R og-rwx ${verpackerSsh}
         chown -R 1000:100 /mnt/home/verpacker        
         ]]>
        </source>
      </noscript>         
    </postpartitioning-scripts>
    <post-scripts config:type="list">

        <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash

        ]]>
        </source>
      </noscript>
    </post-scripts>    
  </noscripts>

ok, the ssh-key is for packer and not the network issues.

Packer : ~1 evening autoyast : ~5 evenings

I also decided to become a more sharing person :
