Simple script flow I did - mine is like 10 lines long but here is the
gist:
takes 2 args, releasedir and arch - releasedir is /path/to/9 arch is
architecutre.
so $basedir = $releasedir/$arch/RedHat/base will get you the dir where
the RedHat dir lives.
then generates the hdlists
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist $reldir/$arch
takes your groups-only comps.xml file and fully builds the rest out:
/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py comps.groups.xml $reldir $arch \
> $basedir/packages.xml
copy the comps.groups.xml overtop of the comps.xml
\/bin/cp -f $basedir/comps.groups.xml $basedir/comps.xml
put the packages.xml on the bottom of the comps.xml
cat $basedir/packages.xml >> $basedir/comps.xml
add a </comps> to the bottom to close the file
echo "</comps>" >> $basedir/comps.xml
rebuild the comps.rpm
copy the comps.rpm back into the $basedir
-sv
