When was "include" directive introduced?

Mon Apr 10 14:18:05 UTC 2006

Hi Roman,

that looks decent. Have you tried it yet? I unfortunately can't modify
anything because then I'd lose support from my Vendor. So, sadly I'm forced
to use only what is supported with the standard tools that each verison of
RHEL comes with.

Cheers,

Christian

Thank you Christian! You confirmed my suspicions!

I was wondering if just including the following hack into
usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py could solve the "%include" issue for
RHEL21.

                        scriptInterp = arg

+           elif args and args[0] == "%include":
+               if len(args) < 2:
+                   raise RuntimeError, "Invalid %include line"
+               else:
+                   # read in the included file and set our where
appropriately
+                   where = self.readKickstart(id, args[1], where =
where)

            elif args and args[0] == "%packages":

Hi Roman,

RHEL 2.1 (based on RH 7.3) doesn't support %include. Only RHEL 3 and 4
support it. I am guessing then that RH8 and newer also support it. I
have
to support RHEL 2.1, 3, and 4, and thus I unfortunately can't take
%include
for granted. My RHEL 2.1 KS files are a different than the rest. I
generate
them on-the-fly via a CGI script, so its not a big deal _now_, but it
used
to be a pain to always make exceptions for RHEL 2.1, where just nothing
is
standard and half the stuff you need missing.

Cheers,

-Christian

Hi ALL,

I'm working on an ESX server from VMware which uses anaconda +
Kickstart.
However it's anaconda version is quite archaic - I can't figure out the
version of anaconda. It has also been heavily hacked by folks from
VMware.
They say it is based on RH7.2  I mounted netstg1.img and did a grep on
"include" in "usr/lib/anaconda" but that didn't turn up any good
positives...
Maybe it just isn't there?

My question is: How long ago was "%include" directive introduced? Should
I
take it for granted?

Thanks much,
