I spent some time installing cobbler package on a system running debian7
(wheezy) and I think I should share my experience here. Wiki page would
be a good option.
The packages were built by Jorgen Maas and are located at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/libertas-ict:/cobbler26/D...
I downloaded the file Release.key from this directory and saved it, then
ran 'sudo apt-key add Release.key'
Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to add following:
# cobbler repo
deb
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/libertas-ict:/cobbler26/D...
/
deb-src
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/libertas-ict:/cobbler26/D...
/
The rest was rather simple-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cobbler
Note - there is no cobbler-web package for debian, everything is built
as one package. koan is available, I did not need it at the moment.
The steps above should work on ubuntu also, but I did not test it.
