yes! It works right now.  :)

Thanks.

Great! :).

And what's the difference between these two branch? 

We are making bigger changes in Fedora Rawhide to switch Anaconda to a modular Anaconda. Read here for more info:

Another source of information could be presentation:

or in YT if you don't like LBRY:

The differences are mostly thanks to that.

Ohh, I've missed that you are trying to create the addon on CentOS-7.

Right now, you are using master branch which is for Fedora Rawhide. For CentOS-7 you have to use rhel7-branch

https://github.com/rhinstaller/hello-world-anaconda-addon/tree/rhel7-branch

Try to use this and see if it will help you.

Thanks your reply,

“inst.updates=hd:/sdb4:/images/updates.img ”  was my writing error，sorry for that.

Actually, I used "inst.updates=hd:sdb4:/images/updates.img" as you said above, and the menu hasn't new category.

I  have read :

pyanaconda/ui/categories/__init__.py

pyanaconda/ui/categories/system.py  

After comparing with these files, I found that “hello-world-anaconda-addon/org_fedora_hello_world/categories/hello_world.py” are missing the following  lines：

displayOnHubGUI="SummaryHub"

displayOnHubTUI="SummaryHub"

sortOrder = 100

displayOnHubGUI  default value is none. 

The comment in the code says that if this value is none, then this category will not be displayed.

SO I add these lines in  “hello-world-anaconda-addon/org_fedora_hello_world/categories/hello_world.py”.

but, when the installer runs, click Continue button in Welcome page(chosse language), there is a error message page, 

and the More Info is shown：

/usr/lib64/python2.7/sit-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py, line 132, in _createBox()

  spoke=spokeClass(self.data, self.storage, self.payload, self.instclass)

……………………

TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)

Now, what should I do next ？ 

:(

Hello,

You should use:

inst.updates=hd:/dev/sdb4:/images/updates.img

or

inst.updates=hd:sdb4:/images/updates.img

For more info please see:

https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html#inst-repo

It's using the same syntax as inst.updates.

Best Regards,

Jirka

Hi all,

I want to test my first “hello word” Anaconda addon program.

Firstly, I use this source code ( https://github.com/rhinstaller/hello-world-anaconda-addon/) ， and make a outfile updates.img. 

Then, I made a USB boot disk （CentOS 7.4）, and placed updates.img into the directory “images/”  of boot disk.

Then I used inst.updates=hd:/sdb4:/images/updates.img boot option, There isn't a new helloworld Category on the installation menu.

Is there anything wrong with steps above？  

Thanks.

edison
