Software

Depending on the product you are installing, Agama will select a set of repositories, patterns and packages to install. However, it is possible to add your own list of repositories, patterns and packages using the software section.

This section supports following keys:

• patterns: list of patterns to install (e.g., gnome, kde, fips, etc.). You can find a list of patterns for your distribution using zypper se --type pattern. If you specify a list of patterns, pre-selected patterns (e.g., selinux) will not get installed unless they are included in the list. If you just want to add a set of patterns to the default selection, check the Adding and removing patterns section.
• packages: list of packages to install (e.g., neovim).
• extraRepositories: list of additional repositories that will be used as installation source. See the User-defined repositories for further information.
• onlyRequired: flag that sets if agama should install only mandatory dependencies or also optional one. If omited, it will use libzypp defaults which is false.

{
  software: {
    patterns: ["gnome", "office"],
    packages: ["neovim", "emacs"],
    extraRepositories: [
      {
        alias: "games",
        url: "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/",
        gpgFingerprints: ["AEF1 EE83 0A27 90AB ABC2 CDA2 8F91 B0E6 C862 B42C"]
      }
    ],
    onlyRequired: false
  }
}

Adding and removing patterns

If you specify a list of patterns, pre-selected patterns like selinux will not get installed unless they are included in the list. So the following list will disable selinux:

{
  software: {
    patterns: ["gnome", "office"]
  }
}

If you want to keep the pre-selected patterns, it might be better to use the add key:

{
  software: {
    patterns: {
      add: ["gnome", "office"]
    }
  }
}

Additionally, there is an special remove that it is useful when you want to remove an specific set of patterns:

{
  software: {
    patterns: {
      remove: ["selinux"]
    }
  }
}

User-defined repositories

The software section allows you to define custom repositories using a list under the extraRepositories key. Each repository in the list can have the following properties:

• alias: A unique identifier for the repository. Mandatory property.
• url: The repository's URL, recognized by libzypp. Mandatory property.
• priority: Sets the priority for using this repository. A lower number means higher precedence. If you don't specify this, it'll use the same default priority as other repositories.
• name (string): A user-friendly name for the repository. If omitted, it defaults to the alias.
• productDir: A path to a specific product related to the URL. This is mainly used for multi-product media and isn't used by default.
• enabled: Controls whether the repository is active. This is handy for pre-defining repositories you plan to enable later. By default, repositories are enabled.
• allowUnsigned: If set to true, the repository will be accepted even if it lacks a GPG signature. This can be useful for your own repositories. It's not set by default.
• gpgFingerprints: A list of accepted GPG fingerprints for the repository. This is helpful if the repository is signed by a GPG key not included in your installation medium. This list is empty by default.
