Description Forgotten User XNr0AseFVw 2007-05-30 11:48:58 UTC 
while trying to automate the "add-on" process for the EDU-CD we have encountered an error in the YaST2 module "add-on". It should according to MAN take the command line "yast2 add-on cd:///" to install packages at the root of a cd ,which does not work the command returns "there is no interface for that module available"
man yast2 says that "yast2 add-on longhelp" should give me more info, but it
starts the gui "add-on" module looking for /longhelp media. Please investigate.

`yast2 add-on help` returns
There is no user interface available for this module.

Which means that add-on doesn't support Command Line interface.
Where exactly did you find that information that add-on module supports cd:// as a parameter?

seems to indicate that it supports the URL spec in regards to finding the "add_on_products" file. just an over zealous assumption?
Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2007-06-01 14:11:38 UTC 
Actually the command-line support has nothing in common with add_on_products file - that file is a part of some installation source providing links to another installation sources. Anyway, add-on module really supports the command-line as you've written. This bug was made by fixing bug #269886.

- Fixed Add-On client to provide command-line again. Providing
  "help" and "longhelp" (#279074).

Fixed in:
  - yast2-add-on-2.15.9
