FYI, pieces missing from the above so far are: -- webapp changes to apply the above -- manpage changes -- wiki changes (where referenced) -- DNS and DHCP management testing -- new snippet modificiations to apply the route configurations and also pay attention to the new fields and not the old ones (jcapel?) -- install testing So the network changes are pretty much the /last/ big thing for 1.4 except for small very safe patches that we might get in. Other patches, depending on complexity, may get merged in, or might get held for 1.5.X's branch start (possibly late December). I think most folks are interested in working on the network aspects though, so that's good. Changes to the Web app are certainly fair game as they don't affect much testing wise. I'd like to see Cobbler 1.4 released sometime around the middle of December, with the intent of mostly doing testing those weeks beforehand. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
