The package list generator is contained within `pkglistgen.py` and consists of
|
|
|
|
|
two phases.

|
|
- `update`: updates local package cache
|
|
|
|
|
- `solve`: uses libsolv to determine list of packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The two phases can be run together via the `update_and_solve` subcommand which
|
|
|
|
|
also performs necessary initialization and post-processing. By default it will
|
|
|
|
|
run against all _scopes_, but a specific scope such as `rings` or `staging` can
|
|
|
|
|
be specified.

## Input and Output
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is one input package and two output packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 000package-groups: This is the input. It contains the *.product files, as
|
|
|
|
|
well as release package templates (e.g openSUSE-release.spec.in). The special
|
|
|
|
|
files groups.yml is read by pkglistgen.py to output group files that are
|
|
|
|
|
meant to be included by the product files.
|
|
|
|
|
- 000product: This is the output container where resulting kiwi files are put
|
|
|
|
|
- 000release-packages: This is the output container for release package spec files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The groups.yml file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The groups.yml is the input for the solver. It contains dictionaries with lists
|
|
|
|
|
of packages. The special key OUTPUT contains a dictionary that lists the group
|
|
|
|
|
files to generate.
