[PATCH] Setup to create a separate cobbler-puppet pacakge for enabling cobbler as a puppet external node.
by Greg Swift
Hi all. This is a patch I put together that might be useful for letting
puppet access cobbler using the ext-nodes script without having to move
files (binary and config) from your cobbler server to install on your puppet
server, most specifically with an RPM. I made the script search for the
config file, so that should help make it work in several use cases.
I'm using this script in my environment now, and seems to be more than
adequate, however this is just one use case.

What would this string contain? I'm not seeing how you would like this
to be implemented from an interaction perspective. What information are
you trying to get cobbler to give to puppet and how would this be used?

Thoughts on web ui changes
by James Cammarata
Here's my current iteration of the web UI layout, and I thought I'd
ask for feedback before doing any commits.
In my mind, it made sense to have all this stuff at the top, rather
than buried at the bottom left under the menu. I thought about moving
it to a three column format, with the pagination/filter stuff on the
right, but I didn't like it much better. I do think some of the
actions might be ok for the right, but the filter stuff really should
be at the top. I'm also considering moving the page controls to the
bottom under the list.
Thoughts?
