there are no plans for that but it would be possible of course.


For adding kickstart to Machinery I would look at the export class for
AutoYaST `lib/autoyast.rb` and create one for kickstart. This new
exporter class would then need to be imported under `lib/machinery.rb`
and a new command `export-kickstart` added to `lib/cli.rb`. Unit tests
should be part of a pull request too which are located under
`spec/unit/`, but existing tests for the the AutoYaST exporter should
help quite a bit in creating those for kickstart.

Running `git grep -i autoyast` inside of the Machinery git directory is
the easiest way to find all places were the AutoYaST export is used and
where the Kickstart exporter would needed to be added.

If you got any additional questions let us know.

Regards
Tim
