Re: State of Autoyast for OpenSUSE 13.2

Hello Stefan,

I am currently trying to figure out what is going wrong with the 13.1 
xml profile in 13.2. The installation is completely broken without any 
(gui) errors during the process.

But if I create a new profile for 13.2 from scratch, auto installation 
works fine. Thus, I'd like to revise my statement about Autoyast being 
broken, it is clearly not!


One question: Is there an up-to-date website that lists the changes from 
AY 13.1 to 13.2?

Google results:
1) http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ is about SLES11SP3 (which 
is strange as it is hosted by opensuse.org).
2) 
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/singlehtml/book_autoyast/book_autoyast.html 
the same
3) http://users.suse.com/~ug/ is outdated as of 12.2.

There seem to be a lot of changes to the installer (plus new modules 
like yast2-auth-client to configure sssd) but no documentation to be 
found (easily) for users...

Thanks,
Joschi Brauchle
