Summary     : Boot server configurator
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.

- Modified sample.seed to make use kickstart_start and kickstart_done snippets
  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
  of late_command New post_run_deb snippet allows to execute post installation
  script. (flaks at bnl.gov)

- 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)
- Only add a udev net rule for an interface if the MAC is set. This fixes
  behaviour whereby a dummy udev rule at eth0 forces the first NIC to get eth1
  post-install. (oliver at cpan.org)
- Make the domainname setting be the full eth0 DNS Name, minus the first dotted
  part (and not the FQDN). (oliver at cpan.org)

- Define pxe_menu_items variable when creating PXE files for systems
  (jthiltges2 at unl.edu)
- Refactor PXE and GRUB menu item creation into a separate function
  (jthiltges2 at unl.edu)
- django 1.4 and later have deprecated the old TEMPLATE_LOADERS and replaced
  them with a new app_directories.Loader (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)

  in snippets again (flaks at bnl.gov)

- The webui_sessions directory belongs only to cobbler-web
  (chutzimir at gmail.com)

  could not be found. this simple diff fixes that. (jorgen.maas at gmail.com)

  http://serverfault.com/a/144290/39018 (ekirpichov at gmail.com)

- scripts/ovz-install: - added support for "services" kickstart option -
  corrected repos and installation source processing (nvrhood at gmail.com)

  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)

  cobblersettings.aug to distributed files, since we need a copy that doesn't
