The package list generator

Sources

The package list generator consists of two scripts:

  • pkglistgen.py - python script using libsolv to do the hard work
  • pkglistgen.sh - shell script for the dirty work. It calls the product converter locally and then splits the output. See existing scripts in script/ for examples how to call it for Rings, Stagings etc.

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.
