openSUSE:Build Service product definition xml
This is a (very) complex example for a Product Definition, including all possible traps currently known. Please have a look at the comments inside the XML to get an idea about the special solutions. The "normal" and recommended product definition should be much easier.
A subset of this file is installed on the system and parsed by libzypp. See Code11 Installed Products for the rationale.
Product file
Same flags of the product file will be handled like RPM handles the flags in the specfiles. For a full definition of these tags, please refer to the rpm documentation. The notes here are just a short reference.
Name: No whitespace Version: integer Release: integer Summary: one line only Description: nearly all chars allowed, multiple lines allowed Requires: dependencies Obsoletes: " Recommends: " Suggests: " Interesting/to be discussed: Group: ? License: ?
We use the upcomming SUSE Linux Enterprise Server definition as this definition will use most of the defined flags. For openSUSE based products, some of these flags can be skipped.

todo:
- pattern translations -> tool needs to create pot file from the xml
- solver:
+ choose locales automatically
+ conflicting patterns and packages
+ group with "preferred" packages for the solver (postfix vs. sendmail)
- add on product handling:
+ registration required even for add on products
+ what about openSUSE add ons that don't need registration but an extra update channel?

Note: the target Flag has to be discussed between PrjMgr and NCC-Team -
and shouldn't change the whole lifetime of the product.
Normally, just needed for Enterprise - here just for
reference.
FYI: the distribution tag will be generated during media creation.
* flavor will be replaced with the <media type="dvd5"/> definition in the mediaset.
* the %{_target_cpu} macro will be expanded
with the basearch of the product.
* release is reserved for special versions of a product

Element documentation
name: The product name. Important for NCC registration. Service Packs should have a different names.
version: The version of the product. Important for NCC registration.
arch: The architecture of the product. Important for NCC registration.
release: The release number of the product.
register/target: The target is important for NCC registration if an updatesource is from type NU. The target is used as filter and is a directory in the path to the update repository. All SUSE LINUX Enterprise Products (version 11) or Add-Ons build for this OS should have the same target: sle-11-%{_target_cpu} . %{_target_cpu} will be replaced with the architecture for what the product is build.
register/release: Special release value used only for NCC registration. The default is empty.
register/flavor: Will mostly describe the installation media. E.g. dvd5, dvd9, livedvd5, etc. It will be replaced with the media typ definition in the mediaset.
productline: A short name of the product which do not change between service packs and versions. E.g. sles, sled, sle-sdk, ...
