Drop-in %post scripts

Authors:

Vladimir Slavik <vslavik@redhat.com>

Anaconda automatically loads custom %post kickstart scripts from the drop directory /usr/share/anaconda/post-scripts. File names of these scripts must end with “ks”, eg. do-something.ks`. If the user does not provide any kickstart to the installer, the scripts from this directory are still loaded and run.

These drop-in scripts are executed at the end of installation, after any %post scripts loaded from the kickstart file supplied for the installation. They are also handled differently than scripts from kickstart supplied by user: Logging of the drop-in scripts is different, and they are not saved to the “output” kickstart file anaconda-ks.cfg.

Files with these scripts should contain only comments and the %post script section(s), such as:

# Register foo with bar for baz
# John Doe, 2048 AD

%post
bar --register foo
%end

%post --interpreter=/usr/bin/python
import baz
baz.update_from_bar("foo")
baz.rewrite_config()
%end

All standard features of the %post script sections apply.

WARNING:

• This functionality is NOT guaranteed to be a stable API.

• Behavior for kickstart contents other than post scripts in these files is undefined.
