You mean /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/$breed I think, but I'll address that... You make a good point about distro compatiblity being important. I think it's just as easy to #if around the breed inside the snippet where required. "$breed" is exposed to the kickstart templating engine. So we can use the same snippet in many places regardless of breed, if the snippet itself is smart. Many things are largely just going to be the same due to LSB. If someone sees where something in a snippet we want to use for other distros is Red Hat specific, feel free to send in a patch or let me know. One obvious example I know of is using /etc/rc.d/init.d/servicename restart instead of /sbin/service. I'm sure there are others and also the basic things like path differences. However it's true that some things like the network config bits are definitely kickstart-only, so in those cases, yes, we /might/ want to namespace them. Since those are still on the devel branch, now is probably a good time. --Michael > Jasper > _______________________________________________ > cobbler mailing list > [email protected] > https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler > _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
