Description of problem: If pykickstart reads a kickstart file that has %include macros, it will write them out again in its output. Since the output already contains the contents of the included ks files, they should be omitted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pykickstart-1.70-1.fc12.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run ksflatten on any kickstart file that has %include macros. Actual results: 11:10 AM jgregusk@zyzyx:~/code/spin-kickstarts $ ksflatten fedora-livecd-desktop.ks | grep include %include fedora-live-base.ks %include fedora-live-minimization.ks Expected results: grep should not print anything Additional Info: Koji uses pykickstart to build livecds and disk images. We want it to support the use case were kickstart files supplied to it have %includes.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Any news on this bug? It's not a huge deal, but I don't want it forgotten. It makes future Fedora image building in Koji harder than it needs to be.
This will be a F-15 blocker as we are planning to build all the livecds and appliances in koji, we will be pulling kickstarts from git and flatting the snippets together. we definetly hit this with F-14 when testing image composition in koji
I haven't forgotten. I just don't have any good ideas on it yet.
Does applying http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/remove-include-annotation.patch fix this problem?
Yes this does fix the problem. Thanks for looking into this. Dennis can you get through a image build task in Fedora Koji with this fix on a builder?
I'll do a new build with this soon. For now, it's been pushed to git.
