Bugs closed so far for 2.0, what's left
by Michael DeHaan
In interest of radical transparency and all that, here's what I'm
planning on fixing for the 2.0.1 release. The goal is to get this out
Friday, worst case scenario -- Tuesday at absolute latest. Then we'll
crank out another testing RPM for folks to upgrade to.
From the changelog, we have already fixed this week:
- (BUGF) Fixes for image based CLI usage and object validation
- (BUGF) Fix koan check for images ... they don't need a kickstart
- (BUGF) Get NFS image mounting working again
- (BUGF) Show object name on cobbler-web edit pages
- (BUGF) Make memtest integration look in the right file locations
- (BUGF) Fix check for dhcpd installation
- (BUGF) Fix code to detect dhcpd config file installation
- (BUGF) Cleaned up generated comments in settings files
- (BUGF) Unhide per-system post-install kernel options
- (BUGF) Unhide owners fields
- (BUGF) Fix "cobbler profile/system dumpvars" command
- (BUGF) Remove acl_engine reference from authz_configfile
- (BUGF) Add "View Kickstart" link back on profile list page
----
Here are things we must fix, with notes on the fixes pending.
#491 cobbler reposync --only may not be working properly in 2.0.0
NOTES: most likely just a CLI/parameter not being routed
through cobblerd correctly. Easy enough.
#499 sessions directory should be moved from /usr/share/cobbler/web
to /var
#502 session related files needs to be stamped httpd_sys_content_t
if SELinux in enforcing mode
NOTES: we will let Cobbler check warn about the command
to run along with other SELinux rules
#503 cobbler import failing when SELInux in enforcing mode and
boolean rsync_disable_trans --> off
NOTES: we will let Cobbler check warn about the command
to run along with other SELinux rules
#504 utils.uniquify not found in Cobbler Web
NOTES: not sure yet
#507 paging navigation not showing up in profile view
NOTES: not sure yet
Need to Investigate/Reproduce Still:
#481 eth0 already present but can view it in cobbler_web
-----
Non Life-Threatening / Planning To Defer To Later Release / Send In A
Patch If You Are Interested In Seeing This Fixed:
#408 --virt-auto-boot needs to support qemu/KVM
#411 unicode data types should not appear in 'report' output 03/28/09
#431 'langsupport' command in
/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/pxerescue.ks breaks Fedora 10 PXE

<user>@<REALM>
#496 "Add new" button in webapp location for 2.0 is not intuitive
#501 "accents"/diacritics characters not supported in Comment fields
(systems)
(also not listed: all RFEs currently in Trac)

print kernel_options_post for system objects
by Christopher Johnston
Mike,
I believe this is needed for system objects in order to print kernel post
options. They are inheritable from other objects (distro, profiles, etc)
right?

system/edit [Networking] block in 2.0
by Martial Paupe
Hi the list,
I'm trying cobbler 2.0 and I'm running with this trouble at the moment ;-(
It seems on my environment that Cobbler doesn't save my network setting after
saving system.
I've also got one disturbing thing which is poorly (Yes I knows) reported here
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/481
Does any one got this same behavior?

CouchDB based serializer
by Michael DeHaan
I'm sitting in all-day meetings this week so I don't have enough
attention cycles for debugging/fixing 2.0 items until next week.
Anyway, got something kind of interesting done... though I am not sure
if we'll ever consider it a mainstream feature. TBD.
From the master branch
If you create:
/etc/cobbler/use.couch
Cobbler will use an installed and running CouchDB instance to store
distros, profiles, systems, repos, and images.
(yum install couchdb && /sbin/service couchdb start)
This will be instead of /var/lib/cobber/config/*.d
Note that there is *no* implemented upgrade path from .d mode, and I
don't plan on making one for this...
(Also we use the "use.couch" format since we no longer support users
writing their own serializers)
Theoretically, this could be used as the basis of a newer
self-replicating cobbler replicate mechanism, though there is the
limitation that the data would /already/ have to be available on the
remote systems.
This is mostly an experiment. It seems roughly the same performance
wise as the existing (and, admittedly, very couch-like) Cobbler JSON system.
To return to the previous behavior, rm the use.couch file and restart
cobblerd.

Branching
by Michael DeHaan
I've created a 'release20' branch for 2.0 fixes.
New work will target master.
If you are currently using master as a 'stable' branch you should switch
to release20.
I'll accept patches to both branches, as appropriate... in general,
simple fixes can be easily cherry-picked between them by me, so apply
bugfixes against release20 and specify which branch you are patching in
your email.

Cobbler 2.0 check confused about dhcpd
by Jeff Schroeder
# rpm -q dhcp
dhcp-3.0.5-13.el5
# which dhcpd
/usr/sbin/dhcpd
# service dhcpd status
dhcpd (pid 1912) is running...
# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : dhcpd is not installed and/or in path
2 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage
debian deployments and repositories
3 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the
(optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to
use them
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
root@xenguest01:~#
This is on RHEL5.2 using bd7d61c32d5a. Is this fixed in the latest git?

messages in /var/log/httpd
by Leonid Flaks
I just noticed that /var/log/httpd/access_log is getting filled with
lines every 2 seconds with whatever action is taken repeatedly until the
next one is generated which goes endlessly.
For example:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [03/Sep/2009:14:16:22 +0000] "GET
/cblr/svc/op/events/user/cobbler HTTP/1.1" 200 2

As a result the file, which was started 3 days ago is now 47M long!
I see it on the latest development version from git.
It is also worth mentioning the time stamp - it jumps between different
time zones.
Looks like some bug in logging.
Does anybody else see this, or is just me?
Thanks,
