Hi all,
I'm working through getting Cobbler running on SuSE (specifically SLES
10). So far I've got it to build (version 1.3.4), using the OpenSuSE
Build Service. The RPMs can be found here:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=cobbler
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=Koan
If you've got an account on OBS you can look at the project files:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cobbler&project=home:...
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=Koan&project=home:rincewind23
Now on to my question. I've patched the 1.3.4 source from
http://people.fedoraproject.org/~mdehaan/files/cobbler/cobbler-1.3.4.tar.gz so that
cobbler check now does proper checks
for services running when it's on suse. What's the process to feed back that
patch for possible inclusion? For my build
project I used "diff -uNr" but I've seen some other patches on the mailing
list using "diff --git". Is this process
documented somewhere?
Cobbler looks very useful for a project I'm working on right now, and
although I haven't got it running on SLES yet, I'd like to try and get
any work I do to achieve that included back into Cobbler.
Use the git tree. 1.3.4 is a development version and 1.4 will be
released soon according to Michael.
Pull down the development git branch and use "git diff".
