CouchDB based serializer
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.
