A couple of questions about trac tickets

[Scott Henson]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

There are a couple of requests in trac that I would like to discuss.

The first is trac#513.  The request is to rename the subnet field to
netmask.  I agree that netmask is the far more well known term for this
field, but I'm wondering how deep we want to make this change if we make
it at all.

If we were to make an alias on the command line and add some text about
it in the web interface, people might get confused when it doesn't come
out as netmask and instead comes out as subnet.

Making the change any deeper would have to wait for a major release as
this would disrupt the api in any situation where interface data is
being edited.

The second one is trac#519.  The fact that you can't see the parent of a
profile on the command line nor in the web interface.  The simple fix is
to set the parent field as a public field and let people track things
down on their own.  The other way is to blend the objects before display
and display all the actual data instead of inherit.

Any thoughts on either of these would be much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I submitted #513.  I feel that the field is misnamed and you
should make the change and fix it in the api as well and if that has to wait
for a major release that's fine but you know, that's just, like, my opinion,
man.

I submitted 519 after Michael confirmed it was a bug.  This behaviour changed since
pre-2.0 where the parent was shown.  Currently the only way I know to see the parent is to
open up the /var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/*.json files in an editor.
