Hey all,

We've just released Cobbler version 2.6.8, another minor update in the

So I noticed today that origin/release28 has been updated significantly
since release (last update was May 29). But origin/master has not been
updated since. Did the wrong branch by any chance get pushed to?

Also, it seems like the cobbler-web repository, which claims to be a
work in progress/broken since it was forked off, has not had any updates
since then. Does it work?

I follow upstream directly on my server by rebasing our local changes
onto it and the fork and the state of origin/master mean I can't really
right now.

I and Jorgen agreed on undoing this repository split. Discussion: 
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/pull/1428 .
He will probably do it soon and I hope he will keep the rpm/deb packages 
split.

Jorgen can answer your other questions better than me.

@Nishanth: 28 is based of the 26 branch (weird, i know). Because a lot of
stuff got removed from master already (eg. sql backends) i wanted another
major release where we can properly document and deprecate all things that
were sent to valhalla in master. So our users can better prepare for the
upcoming changes in 3.0. Also, 28 will be some kind of LTS version for
users that can not upgrade to 3.0 because of the missing features. And 3.0
will probably not be entirely compatible (api) with previous versions.

@Nishanth: are your local changes not suitable for upstream? would your
life be easier if you'd have commit rights?

wrt master: the split (cobbler-web, koan) will be reversed when i find the
time, i don't mind if someone else beats me to it though ;-)

Ah that make sense actually. I just wasnt sure why master hadn't been
updated in so long. But it follows that master28 needed further updates.

Well, my intent for rebasing is to send everything I can upstream :)

I feel bad asking for commit rights -- I think I'm ok just being a
contributor, as I don't know want to inadvertently break the code base.

If it would help to revert the commits, I can contribute to this -- not
sure how clean the revert will be immediately, but I will look.
