Ihara, This looks very interesting! A few procedural notes: (A) Patches for major features always need to be applied against the devel branch, so I will need this rebased against that. (B) I am not sure about adding "onesis" as a first class cobbler object. This means that it needs to show up in the Web UI and command lists, manpage, and so forth, and in general, I don't want users too overburdened with too many first class objects. Perhaps it would be possible to keep that code as "/usr/bin/onesys-setup" as a seperate script/package? This seems reasonable as you only have to run that command once and the other distros/profiles do not seem to reference the "cobbler onesis" produced data again on the cobbler server. The rest of the features seem like they can be used with mainstream Cobbler -- which is of course excellent that it did not require further modifications. (C) I'd really LOVE to have docs on this on the Wiki. Can you add them under "User Documentation"? You will need an account at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts (these are very easy to apply for) and the Wiki is at http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler Feel free to disagree with the above suggestions, just looking over "onesis.patch" I did not see much in the script that referenced over cobbler API's, so it seems a good candidate for a seperate bash/python script that we could perhaps host on the Wiki. Perhaps I did not fully understand it. Neat stuff though, thanks for sharing and let me know what you think about the above! --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
