Re: Built-in methods

[Dan G]

For childish reasons, I've been avoiding gmail. Our school is transitioning over to
google apps soon, so I'll be getting gmail anyway. The formatting errors should
disappear soon :).

I've finally figured out the second roadblock. Apparently, using "$include"
instead of "#include" causes some very bizarre results. The error cascades up
the substitution/include chain and causes them all to fail (it pretends the variable or
method doesn't exist). The error was in my templates and changing "$include"
to "#include" fixed it. This still doesn't seem kosher; the error should not
have caused that behavior. If I get time (unlikely) I'll investigate it a bit more and
file a bug report with either Cheetah or Cobbler.

I'll be packing up for my move tonight, so I will be out of contact until Saturday.
