support Debian based distros. I'm not entirely sure how much work it
would be to test it though.
I know of at least 3 parties that would be interested, myself not included.
Then there's some parties interested in (Open)SUSE, and then some in Windows.
The first step would be to package cobbler on Debian. This should be
a
lot easier now that we have cleaned up the packaging on the Red Hat
side. The setup.py should put things together in such a away that the
dpkg should be pretty straight forward. If you want to try that and let
us know how it works, that would be great.
Actually, the first step would be to undo the commenting out of lines of code.
Whether one deploys Cobbler on Debian, or deploys Debian with Cobbler are two
different things.
FWIW, one important detail that I'm trying to tackle is accounting for the
major difference between the layout of release media (.iso) and the contents
of a mirror.
