Description peter czanik 2006-02-11 14:24:59 UTC 
There is a selection called 'XEN virtualization' in sw_single. This does not make sense, as Xen does not (yet) support the PPC platform. It has just one component (YaST2-vm), which is automatically selected, even if the category itself is not selected. As XEN does not work on PPC, it can't be used for anything.

Stefan: Something for you? I'll add the PPC team into CC.
(Assigning this to you because someone told me you would manage the package selections, is that right?).

Pretty stupid in a noarch package. :-( Currently I don't know how to fix this
in a correct way ...
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2006-03-20 12:07:57 UTC 
I finally found a way to fix this in a correct way. There won't be a .noarch.sel file any more. Only .x86_64.sel, .i686.sel and .i586.sel.
Comment 7 peter czanik 2006-04-04 20:09:44 UTC 
"Virtual machine installation (Xen)" is still installed automatically on SLES10 beta9 on PPC.
Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2006-04-04 21:16:49 UTC 
This must be a YaST bug.

# rpm -qpl /work/CDs/all/full-ppc/suse/noarch/selectio.rpm |grep -i Xen
/CD1/suse/setup/descr/Xen-10.1-36.i586.sel
/CD1/suse/setup/descr/Xen-10.1-36.i686.sel
/CD1/suse/setup/descr/Xen-10.1-36.x86_64.sel

Neither a ppc nor a noarch .sel file!

Klaus will probably know whom to assign ...
Comment 9 Klaus Kämpf 2006-04-04 22:10:47 UTC 
The name of the .sel file is not important, the content is... ;-)
Comment 10 Klaus Kämpf 2006-04-04 22:14:20 UTC 
And the content looks fine.

Need logs !
Comment 11 Andreas Jaeger 2006-04-05 07:09:25 UTC 
Comment #7 is about SLES - not about SUSE Linux.  Comment #8 is about SUSE Linux.

Reassinging to SLES pattern maintainer.
Comment 12 Thorsten Kukuk 2006-04-05 07:48:51 UTC 
Commet #7 is invalid.

There is no XEN pattern for PPC, so SLES10 Beta9 PPC cannot have such a pattern.
