Re: State of Autoyast for OpenSUSE 13.2

Thank you very much for the documentation.

Some more information on the broken installation:
It looks like it is the *same* problem that existed for 13.1: the add-on 
section.

I did two installations, with this diff between xmls:
-------
--- test.xml    2014-10-21 17:05:15.000000000 +0200
+++ test.xml.broken     2014-10-21 17:05:04.000000000 +0200

    </add-on>
-------
The installation *with* the add-on section specified is broken!

This looks pretty identical to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846011

Shall I reopen or create new report?

As there are only 13 days to release, is there any chance to get this 
fixed before GM?
