Updating koan for SSL, and other port things..
by Justin Sherrill 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi All, Currently when you specify a port for koan it: 1. Tries port 80, if that fails: 2. Tries the port you specified. I'm changing it such that it will: 1. Try the port you specify, if that fails: 2. Tries port 80. Also, I'm adding support for SSL. Would koan users prefer: a. A '--ssl' option that tries on SSL if specified b. if 443 is passed in try on 443 with SSL, if that fails try on port 80 w/o SSL -Justin

[Patch] Fix distro delete non-recursive
by Vreman, Peter 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

The distro delete is currently always recursive and deletes all child profiles and systems. Attached patch fixes the recursive check and made image/profile/distro delete operations consistent.

[PATCH] Dynamic sidebar menu
by Vreman, Peter 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Attached is a patch that makes the sidebar dynamic based on the current page. Currently it contains only the Add actions that were already in the previous menu. There are some things in the style.css that are not working. E.g. the highlight of the current entry. And also some image urls are invalid. But my html/css knowledge is too limited to get this fixed. Maybe somebody else can have a look at it. Regards, Peter This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

(devel) UID value now available in API
by Michael DeHaan 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

In addition to the creation time (ctime) and modification time (mtime) in the Cobbler 1.3. XMLRPC API, there is now a Universal Identifier (UID) that can be used to identify objects if manipulating them from another application, so that if the name of the object changes, the original identity of the object can still be tracked. This will not be displayed anywhere in the application. A new UID is generated on a copy, but not on an edit or rename. For example, here's a trivial copy(where we don't actually change the values of any fields): cobbler image copy --name=i1 --newname=i2 1. diff /var/lib/cobbler/config/images.d/i /var/lib/cobbler/config/images.d/i2 2. 9,10c9,10 3. < mtime: 1227045053.86 4. < name: i 5. --- 6. > mtime: 1227567387.23 7. > name: i2 This works the same as with API calls. Perhaps of limited interest, though I wanted to point as I won't likely advertise it heavily later :) Cobbler still uses the object name as it's "key", so there is really no behavior in Cobbler that uses the UID, but it's there for other API using applications that might want to know if an object is renamed. --Michael

Cobbler 1.3.1 test release now available
by Michael DeHaan 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi folks, I'm happy to mention that we're at a stage where a formal 'test release' of the 1.3.X branch is now feasible. Source RPMs and tarballs are available here: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~mdehaan/files/cobbler/ Refer to the list of new features here: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/WhatsNewInThirteen Anything and everything is fair game for testing, the power management features are especially new, and the new network features (bonding, vlans, assured ordering) also could use attention. Feel free to see that your favorite features also continue to work -- though we've improved testing a fair amount since the last release (which should help). If you have any Debian systems, also please feel free to test out Debian imports ("--breed=debian" on the import command line). We're going to continue working on features that are in progress (and almost finished), though the more testing we can get on those the sooner we can release 1.4. Depending on the results of findings and the amount of changes we make, there may also be a follow up 1.3.2 test release. Thank you!!! --Michael
