YAML

External configurations

The "ExternalConfigs" keyword will tell kickstarter to look for additional YAML files to parse. Lists will be merged in order of inclusion, ie, if there is a key/value pair, the latest YAML file to be included (or the one having ExternalConfigs and that key), will specify the final value corresponding to the key. When lists are merged, later yaml file contents always will be first in the list, earlier ones appended.

"ExternalConfigs" should be accompanied with a list of directories.

Example:

  ExternalConfigs:
   - /usr/share/kickstarts/mer-core
   - /usr/share/kickstarts/n900-hard

Declarations

There are two types of objects in a kickstarter file, one is declarations and one is configurations.

Declarations are sets of descriptions which has a name. These cannot inherit from each other.

Configurations are what is actually getting created into kickstart files, has to have a name and a filename.

Example:

   Foo:
      Kernel: kernel-foobar
   Configurations:
        - Name: Mer Core for foobar
          FileName: mer-core-foobar
          Inherits:
            -  Foo
          Groups: 
            - Mer Core
      
        

Configurations

The "Configurations" keyword is a list, specifies which kickstart files should be generated.

Example:

  Configurations:
      - 

Inheritance

Example:

   Inherits:
      - foo
      - bar
