The package list generator

Sources

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.
