Syntax of pattern files

Pattern files are very similar to Selections but have a different file name extension .pat (instead of .sel) They also don't have language specific information.

Keyword Value Comment
=Ver: Syntax version Minimal parser version needed to parse this file.
Should be set to 5.0 for Code10
=Pat: name version release architecture All four values are mandatory
=Sum: summary one line label in default language
=Sum.lang: summary one line language specific label
+Des:
-Des: 		description Multi line description in default language
Use "<!-- DT:Rich -->" at the beginning of the description to enable embedded HTML codes.
+Des.lang:
-Des.lang: 		description Multi line description, language specific
Use "<!-- DT:Rich -->" at the beginning of the description to enable embedded HTML codes.
=Cat: category one line user-visible category grouping different patterns (in default language)
=Cat.lang: summary one line language specific category
=Ico: icon icon name
if no icon name is specified, the pattern name will be used instead (with blanks in the name replaced by underscores "_")
".png" will be appended, if there is no ".png" or ".jpg" extension
if no path is specified, icons are looked up in the theme icon path (first /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/icons/32x32/apps/, then /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/icons/48x48/apps/)
relative paths are assumed to be relative to the theme path (/usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/)
absolute paths are allowed, too
=Vis: visibility visibility of selection (for user interface)
=Ord: ordering order of selection (for user interface)
This three-digit-integer-value defines the order of the selection when listing multiple patterns in the user interface
