2.4.0 beta3 RPMs available

[James Cammarata]

I've gone ahead and taken another snapshot of the 2.4.0 branch and
released the next beta RPM. Hopefully this will be the last beta
release before the official 2.4.0 (assuming no one finds any major
issues).

This version includes:

CHANGES

* Signature based imports! See here for more info:
http://cobbler.github.com/manuals/2.4.0/4/2/3_-_Distro_Signatures.html
* Kernel options are now evaluated as templates for variable
substitution - this means you can use @@http_server@@ in kopts now.
* Network snippets will use ip instead of ifconfig, when available
* New koan option --virt-pxe-boot (also configurable per-system),
which will force a new VM to PXE boot instead of relying on the
--location argument
* Enhanced cheetah template rendering error reporting. Things such as
undefined references are now logged in cobbler.log, so when you just
see $SNIPPET in your rendered templates now it will be easier for you
to figure out why
* Moved get-loaders content to cobbler.github.com

BUGFIXES:

* Fix for "NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower" error on distro
rename
* CLI edit not respecting hash item deletion syntax ('~')
* Issue #313 - "-m" option is no longer valid in reposync, using "-n"
instead
* Fixed proxy support for get-loaders
* Ubuntu was not checked as a breed in the kickstart_done snippet

The big change here is the import signature support. For those who
haven't heard me talk about this in the past, the idea is to have a
data file that tells cobbler what to look for when importing distros
so that in the future more can be added without requiring an upgrade
to cobbler. Read more about using the new "cobbler signature" command
at the URL above.

Speaking of that, I've gone ahead and forked the manual to the 2.4.0
version, and have been doing a lot more work on cleaning up
documentation while adding docs on all the new stuff in 2.4.0. The new
website is also live, which uses the Twitter Bootstrap framework to
make things nice and pretty.

Enjoy!

Can you send link to RPM download area?

Typically, you use it via the "yum --enable-repo=updates-testing
install cobbler", or the correct repo name if you're using EPEL
instead of Fedora.

Alternatively, you can grab the RPM directly from koji, just find the
right package here
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/cobbler and click on
the "Builds:" link. For instance, the F18 build is here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=372419

I like to think I am a git enthusiast, but that does not make me agood 
git user yet. When I saw this email I went into my git repository for 
cobbler and did this:

[bobbyc@cobbler1 ~]$ cd cobbler
[bobbyc@cobbler1 cobbler]$ git pull
remote: Counting objects: 27, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
remote: Total 18 (delta 10), reused 16 (delta 8)
Unpacking objects: 100% (18/18), done.
 From git://github.com/cobbler/cobbler
    6185551..e060893  release24  -> origin/release24
  * [new tag]         cobbler-2.4.0-beta3 -> cobbler-2.4.0-beta3
Already up-to-date.


My question is how do I make use of the release24 branch? Do I switch to 
that branchby doing something like

git branch release24

and then

make
su -c 'make webtest' (since I have an existing cobbler version already 
running)?

Thanks

Bob

Bob,

Just do:

git checkout cobbler-2.4.0-beta3

That should put you on that branch - then build...

You can refer to this doc to install from source:

[Bob Cochran]

Scott,

Thank you very much, that worked for me!

[bobbyc@cobbler1 ~]$ su -c 'cobbler --version'
Password:
Cobbler 2.4.0
   source: e060893, Wed Dec 12 04:41:02 2012 -0600
   build time: Wed Dec 12 12:54:04 2012

My serverbox is erroneously set to UTCwhen it should be Eastern time, 
but with that understanding, I did just build it and I have a 'cobbler 
reposync'  running right now.
