Variables in the %include and repo lines

[Adrian Cruceru]

Hi Michael,

Why not include generic name:

%include /tmp/repo.txt
%include /tmp/files.txt

and in pre just copy/output to those files

%pre
echo "repo --name ${inst_type} 
--baseurl=file:///tmp/APP/${inst_type}/packages" > /tmp/repo.txt

cp /tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc/tmp/files.txt

Regards,
Adrian
