Description :

Cobbler is a network install server.  Cobbler supports PXE,
virtualized installs, and re-installing existing Linux machines.  The
last two modes use a helper tool, 'koan', that integrates with
cobbler.  There is also a web interface 'cobbler-web'.  Cobbler's
advanced features include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync
mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum mirroring, and built-in
DHCP/DNS Management.  Cobbler has a XMLRPC API for integration with
other applications.

  for debian. As a result the following cobbler features work for debian:   -
  prevent net boot looping   - cobbler status reflects debian installations   -
  preseed file is downloaded a nd saved on the installed system as
  /var/log/cobbler.seed Also made download_config_files_deb snippet, make use

- Add support for qemu machine type to emulate (option --qemu-machine-type).
  (isaoshimizu at gmail.com)
- Modern x86 kernels have 2048 char limit and this is needed to support
  configurations with kickstart+NIC kernel params. Otherwise koan refuses to
  accept the param list. (oliver at cpan.org)
- Allow koan's -S option to work for SuSE breed. Also remove -S for breed=None,
  as I assume "Red Hat" is not a sane assumption for all Distros without a
  breed. (oliver at cpan.org)

  behaviour whereby a dummy udev rule at eth0 forces the first NIC to get eth1
  post-install. (oliver at cpan.org)

- Add support for UEFI boot to the subnet, but not for defined systems yet.
  (erinn.looneytriggs at gmail.com)
- Fix redhat import whitelist for Fedora 17 (jimi at sngx.net)
- Fix unittest on the case of haven't virt-install libs. (daikame at gmail.com)
- os_version for debian should be similar to ubunty for virt-install to work
  changed tree in app.py so that I can use debian mirror different from cobbler
  server (flaks at bnl.gov)

  type (nvrhood at gmail.com)
- cobbler/item_system.py: - added openvz for virt_type (nvrhood at gmail.com)
- [BUGFIX] template errors can hit an exception path that references an
  undefined variable (jimi at sngx.net)
- If the call to int() fails, inum has no value, thus the reference to inum in
  the except clause causes an UnboundLocalError when it tries to reference
  inum. (joshua at azariah.com)
- Add new ubuntu (alpha) version to codes.py (jorgen.maas at gmail.com)

  changing that to only import files in a white list - some modifications to
  import modules to clean some things up and make available-as work better -
  fix in utils.py for path_tail, which was not working right and appending the
  full path (jimi at sngx.net)
- Run the same sed command on the default distributed config file to ensure
  consistent indentation (jimi at sngx.net)
- Add setting to enable/disable dynamic settings changes Adding
  cobblersettings.aug to distributed files, since we need a copy that doesn't
  insert tabs Added a "cobbler check" that checks if dynamic settings is
  enabled and prints a sed command to cleanup the settings file spacing/indents
  (jimi at sngx.net)
- Change cli command "settings" to "setting" to match other commands (which are
  not plurarlized) (jimi at sngx.net)
- Removing commented-out try/except block in config.py, didn't mean to commit
  this (jimi at sngx.net)

- [BUGFIX] re-enable writing of DHCP entries for non-pxeboot-enabled systems
  unless they're static (jimi at sngx.net)

- [BUGFIX] add dns to kernel commandline when using static interface

- [BUGFIX] issue #196 - repo environment variables bleed into other repos
  during sync process This patch has reposync cleanup/restore any environment
  variables that were changed during the process (jimi at sngx.net)
- BUGFIX quick dirty fix to work around an issue where cobbler would not log in ldap
  usernames which contain uppercase characters. at line 60 instead of "if user
  in data", "if user.lower() in data" is used. It would appear the parser puts
  the usernames in data[] in lowercase, and the comparison fails because "user"
  does hold capitalizations. (matthiasvandegaer at hotmail.com)
- [BUGFIX] simplify SELinux check reporting 
  * Remove calls to semanage, policy prevents apps from running that directly 
    (and speeds up check immensely) 
  * Point users at a wiki page which will contain details on ensuring cobbler
    works with SELinux properly (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] issue #117 - incorrect permissions on files in /var/lib/cobbler

- [SECURITY] Major changes to power commands: 
  * Fence options are now based on /usr/sbin/fence_* - so basically anything the 
    fence agents package provides.
  * Templates will now be sourced from /etc/cobbler/power/fence_<powertype>.template.  
    These templates are optional, and are only required if you want to do extra 
    options for a given command. - All options for the fence agent command are sent 
    over STDIN. 
  * Support for ipmitool is gone, use fence_ipmilan instead (which uses ipmitool 
    under the hood anyway). This may apply to other power types if they were provided 
    by a fence_ command. 
  * Modified labels for the power options to be more descriptive. (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] issue #136 - don't allow invalid characters in names when copying
  objects (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] issue #168 - change input_string_or_list to use shlex for split This
  function was using a regular string split, which did not allow quoted or
  escaped strings to be preserved. (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] Correct method to process the template file. This Fixes the previous issue
  and process the template. (charlesrg at gmail.com)

  broken when ksdevice=bootif (default) (jorgen.maas at gmail.com)
- [BUGFIX] rename failed for distros that did not live under ks_mirror
  (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] Partial revert of commit 3c81dd3081 - incorrectly removed the 'extends'
  template directive, breaking rendering in django (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] Reverting commit 1d6c53a97, which was breaking spacewalk Changed the web
  interface stuff to use the existing extended_version() remote call

  causing more formatted JSON to be output (jimi at sngx.net)
- [SECURITY] Adding PrivateTmp=yes to the cobblerd.service file for systemd
  (jimi at sngx.net)
- [FEATURE] add a config option to enable pretty JSON output (disabled by default)
  (aronparsons at gmail.com)

- [BUGFIX] fix infinite netboot cycle with ppc64 systems (nacc at us.ibm.com)
- [BUGFIX] Don't allow Templar classes to be created without a valid config
  There are a LOT of places in the templar.py code that use self.settings
  without checking to make sure a valid config was passed in. This could cause
  random stack dumps when templating, so it's better to force a config to be
  passed in. Thankfully, there were only two pieces of code that actually did
  this, one of which was the tftpd management module which was fixed elsewhere.
  (jimi at sngx.net)
- [BUGFIX] instance of Templar() was being created without a config passed in

- [BUGFIX] Simple fix for issue where memtest entries were not getting created after
  installing memtest86+ and doing a cobbler sync (rharriso at redhat.com)

- [BUGFIX] close file descriptors on backgrounded processes to avoid hanging %pre
  (aparsons at redhat.com)
- [BUGFIX] rsync copies the repositories with --delete hence deleting everyhting local
  that isn't on the source server. The createrepo then creates (following the
  default settings) a cache directory ... which is deleted by the next rsync
  run. Putting the cache directory in the rsync exclude list avoids this
  deletion and speeds up running reposync dramatically. (niels at basjes.nl)
- [BUGFIX] Properly blame SELinux for httpd_can_network_connect type errors on initial
  setup. (michael.dehaan at gmail.com)

  (aaron.peschel at gmail.com)
- [FEATURE] Adding support for ESXi5, and fixing a few minor things (like not having a
  default kickstart for esxi4) Todos:   * The esxi*-ks.cfg files are empty, and
  need proper kickstart templates   * Import bug testing and general kickstart
  testing (jimi at sngx.net)
- [FEATURE] Adding basic support for gPXE (jimi at sngx.net)
- [FEATURE] Add arm as a valid architecture. (chuck.short at canonical.com)
- [SECURITY] Changes PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to a safer path owned just by the webserver.
  (chuck.short at canonical.com)
- [BUGFIX] koan: do not include ks_meta args when obtaining tree When obtaining the tree
  for Ubuntu machines, ensure that ks_meta args are not passed as part of the
  tree if they exist. (chuck.short at canonical.com)
- [FEATURE] koan: Use grub2 for --replace-self instead of grubby The koan option
  '--replace-self' uses grubby, which relies on grub1, to replace a local
  installation by installing the new kernel/initrd into grub menu entries.
  Ubuntu/Debian no longer uses it grub1. This patch adds the ability to use
  grub2 to add the kernel/initrd downloaded to a menuentry. On reboot, it will
  boot from the install kernel reinstalling the system. Fixes (LP: #766229)
  (chuck.short at canonical.com)

  variable for debmirror by hardcoding the environment variable  to

  repository. (chuck.short at canonical.com)
- [BUGFIX] adding default_template_type to settings.py, caused some issues with
  templar when the setting was not specified in the /etc/cobbler/settings

- [BUGFIX] Don't blow up on broken links under /var/www/cobbler/links

- [SECURITY] Making https the default for the cobbler web GUI. Also modifying the cobbler-
  web RPM build to require mod_ssl and mod_wsgi (missing wsgi was an oversight,
  just correcting it now) (jimi at sngx.net)
- [FEATURE] Adding authn_pam. This also creates a new setting - authn_pam_service, which
  allows the user to configure which PAM service they want to use for cobblerd.
  The default is the 'login' service (jimi at sngx.net)
- [SECURITY] Change in cobbler.spec to modify permissions on webui sessions directory to
  prevent non-privileged user acccess to the session keys (jimi at sngx.net)

- [FEATURE] Added the setting 'default_template_type' to the settings file, and created
  logic to use that in Templar().render(). Also added an option to the same
  function to pass the template type in as an argument. (jimi at sngx.net)
- [FEATURE] Initial commit for adding support for other template languages, namely jinja2
  in this case (jimi at sngx.net)
