For those that were expecting it, I had some "fun" with one of my computers Friday, so I'll see about building the 1.3.3 test release and getting that out Monday.
Main things to test: -- Installs in general -- is everything you're used to still functioning? -- Upgrades -- kickstarts will be copied to /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts for LSB happiness, make sure things continue to run smoothly -- Networking configuration -- look for /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/*.rpmnew for the new templates and how they are used. Note prior emails about --dns-name being a new per-interface variable and --hostname (corresponding to the system hostname, not DNS) now being global instead. There's also a --static attribute on each interface for easier static interface setup. -- CobblerWeb -- new interface for editing the network information on the systems page. -- Power Management -- it's new, testing welcome, and let me know if any of the snippets in /etc/cobbler/power need correcting -- Puppet integration -- it's on the Wiki, if you use this, testing welcome, I haven't heard much yet -- Built In Configuration Management feature -- also see the Wiki, this is pretty new and optional, but could use more testing and comments. For reasons of needing to get a stable release out and not having much time for testing, I probably do /not/ have all of the debian patches applied. We will look at merging all of this in once we have 1.6 ready and folks can help test that. From IRC, it seems like the Wiki instructions do not entirely work as described, so we'll call this support "experimental" for 1.4. I'll also be updating the Illustrated Changelog parts of the Wiki to better describe the new things that were done recently. There are still some open bugs on the Wiki, many of these should be resolved before the 1.4 release, some minor fringe-case ones may be left outstanding for a 1.4.1, but we'll not leave anything major in to bite anyone. (For those using git, no need to wait for me, just do a checkout for the devel branch and run "make" to build the RPM... for everyone else... source RPMs out soon) Thanks! --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
