Support for package groups in otherpkgs #2406

Closed Phhere closed 7 years ago

Phhere commented 7 years ago

It would be great when support for package groups would be available in otherpkgs like in ospkgs

hi @Phhere , where are the package groups in? the os iso?

Phhere commented 7 years ago

In my case the package groups came from the hardware vendor iso for some additional kernel modules and so on. I unpacked the iso and integrated it into the custom repo and included the groups in repodata

immarvin commented 7 years ago

please provide the linux distribution of your compute nodes, as well as a sample otherpkglist including the package groups if convenient.

Redhat 7.3 Hardware: SGI UV 2000 otherpkglist:

iozone
iperf
htop
lldpd
#NEW_INSTALL_LIST#
gpfs.base-4.2.0-0
gpfs.docs
gpfs.ext
gpfs.gpl
gpfs.msg.en_US
#NEW_INSTALL_LIST#
gpfs.base-4.2.0-2
#NEW_INSTALL_LIST#
@SGI MPI
@SGI Foundation Software

The Problem maybe is that i put the groups into subfolders of the otherpkgdir

immarvin commented 7 years ago

hi @Phhere , if you put the groups into subfolders of otherpkgdir, the pkglist entries can be specified as <subdirname>/@<groupname>
