I am looking at this right now, as I have an XP CD laying around not doing anything. The main issue I see is that we would either have to have a dependency on the ris-linux package, or just distribute it with cobbler. Also, it would probably be best to integrate the daemon that it runs with cobblerd in order to reduce the number of processes that people need to start up (that would definitely require packing it). Finally, would we be looking at adding a manage_samba option then, since this requires packages to be shared via a CIFS mount? Some extra checks could be added to "cobbler check" to verify that's all installed. Beyond that, the generation of response files is mainly what I wrote the templated config stuff for, so it should be fairly simple to implement this as an import :) Thoughts? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
