Hello Fabian and Thomas,
I think bug #12169 might have been closed prematurely (again). The reported issue is that %addon sections are ignored by CBS, not that we need to upgrade our infra to CentOS Linux 7 (that was just what we initially thought to be enough to avoid the problem).
The problem was that pykickstart had no support for %addon sections, and it removed any unknown section from generated file. I reported this upstream a while ago, and Chris Lumens added a workaround 12 days ago. [2]
Could we incorporate the two upstream commits into our .srpm and let me test it first, please? :)
Thanks, Laurențiu
