Hello: I posted this to the Kickstart list [1], but thought of checking it here in the interest of a faster turnaround time. I am trying to add a repository to an existing KS file. This is the script [2]. The script is doing its job for KS files which do not have a '--default' switch added to the %packages section. However, for a KS file which has a %packages --default section added, the parser does not read beyond it and hence creates a KS file which do not have any of the following packages specified in the KS file. To quickly verify the problem, I have added two KS files (basically the fedora-install-fedora.ks used to create Fedora installation DVDs) with one having the --default option, and the other not having it. I have commented out the actual repo addition code so that the problem can be reproduced easily. For example, with the default.ks file: $python ks_addrepo.py #version=DEVEL repo --name="fedora" --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch --excludepkgs="kernel*debug*,kernel-kdump*,syslog-ng*,java-1.5.0-gcj-devel,astronomy-bookmarks,generic*,java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc,btanks*,GConf2-dbus*,bluez-gnome" repo --name="fedora-source" --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch --excludepkgs="kernel*debug*,kernel-kdump*,syslog-ng*,java-1.5.0-gcj-devel,astronomy-bookmarks,generic*,java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc,btanks*,GConf2-dbus*,bluez-gnome" # Installation logging level logging --level=info %packages --default %end And with the nodefault.ks file: $python ks_addrepo.py #version=DEVEL repo --name="fedora" --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch --excludepkgs="kernel*debug*,kernel-kdump*,syslog-ng*,java-1.5.0-gcj-devel,astronomy-bookmarks,generic*,java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc,btanks*,GConf2-dbus*,bluez-gnome" repo --name="fedora-source" --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch --excludepkgs="kernel*debug*,kernel-kdump*,syslog-ng*,java-1.5.0-gcj-devel,astronomy-bookmarks,generic*,java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc,btanks*,GConf2-dbus*,bluez-gnome" # Installation logging level logging --level=info %packages @afrikaans-support @albanian-support @arabic-support @armenian-support @assamese-support @basque-support @belarusian-support @bengali-support @bhutanese-support @bosnian-support @brazilian-support @breton-support @british-support @bulgarian-support @burmese-support .. ..
