Description Jiri Kastner 2012-09-12 15:02:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
beaker xml contains <ks_appends> which serves to append custom kickstart parts. seems to me usefull to have option for that.

Actual results:
missing options

Expected results:
--ks-append and/or --ks-append-file options

Additional info:
<ks_appends>
   <ks_append>
%post
sed -i 's/CONSOLE_LOG=.*/CONSOLE_LOG=False/' /etc/beah.conf
%end
   </ks_append>
</ks_appends>
Comment 1 Petr Šplíchal 2012-09-12 16:48:48 UTC 
I think it would make sense to include this functionality in the
general workflow code from where all workflows can make use of it
(similarly as the --ks-meta option). Jiri, what do you think?
Comment 2 Jiri Kastner 2012-09-13 13:00:16 UTC 
good idea
Comment 3 Petr Šplíchal 2012-09-13 13:32:38 UTC 
OK, moving to the Beaker product.
Comment 4 Nick Coghlan 2012-10-17 04:35:44 UTC 
Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.

Verify Steps:

1. run `bkr workflow-simple --dryrun --prettyxml --family Fedora21 --arch x86_64  --task '/distribution/install' --ks-append 'test or whatever command'`

2. check the ks_appends part in the output xml.
