Description Ladislav Michnovic 2008-03-07 15:07:05 UTC 
Regarding FATE #302382, I don't see the USB mass storage in the options when I want to add an Add-on product during installation. 

Btw. How can I add an ISO file as Add-on? It's possible via NFS, but not when I have it on the local hard drive.
Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2008-03-07 15:23:32 UTC 
Uh, I just have found that the add-on module has its own media selection code, it should reuse the code from SourceDialogs.ycp (e.g. IsAnyNetworkAvailable(), SelectRadioWidgetOpt), unfortunately the SourceDialogs API must be fixed (it's not public).

To the local ISO file: that's another feature request :-)
(The UI doesn't support this in a simple way, but you can use an URL like this as a workaround:
iso:///?iso=openSUSE-10.2-RC5-DVD-ppc.iso&url=hd:///openSUSE-10.2-RC5/iso/?device=/dev/sdb8&filesystem=auto)

Well if you use the same code which is used in yast2 inst_source module, it will be fixed also. There is already an ISO file option. ;-)

Er, hmm, I thought we were reusing the same code :)
Comment 4 Ladislav Michnovic 2008-04-18 09:36:17 UTC 
Ping. This issue is still in Beta1. :(
Comment 9 Lukas Ocilka 2008-05-12 13:55:21 UTC 
Packages and Add-Ons are not using the same code because Packager has the code inside repositories.ycp (which cannot be used from outside), one possibility would be to move these functions to module or include file.

At least: TypeDialog, EditDialog, StoreSource + createSource function(s)
Comment 10 Lukas Ocilka 2008-05-15 14:07:24 UTC 
- Some functions from repositories.ycp were moved to a separate
  include file to share them (bnc #368207).
- yast2-packager-2.16.47
Comment 11 Lukas Ocilka 2008-05-15 14:28:54 UTC 
- Using functions for adding repositories exported by the
  yast2-packager to unify the offered types of repositories
  (bnc #368207).
