Comment 2 Tomas Lestach 2009-11-11 15:15:44 UTC

The problem is in the code/src/com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/builder/KickstartBuilder.java

newly added "@ Base" package (that is automatically added to every kickstart profile) won't be saved into the DB

Comment 3 Garik Khachikyan 2009-11-11 16:00:18 UTC

... and due to this any single change applied in ks profile will just left the %packages section of kickstart file empty (if the creator would not be attentive and add it manually)

Comment 4 Garik Khachikyan 2009-11-11 16:23:20 UTC

Time for good news:

Even with an empty software package list, the provisioning does with minimal package sets required for a system - for my experiment it's now doing installation of 582MB packages (could assume: the minimal @Base set is preparing there...)

@Dev: need your assurance/comment regarding this, thanks.
