Probably Monday or Tuesday I plan to have web UI search done on the 1.6 branch (now "master"). Once this is done, I'll be uploading a few test RPMs.
We can really use everyone's help in testing 1.6 and making sure it is as bug-free and awesome as possible. Note the changelog for this branch is currently: - (FEAT) Improved anaconda monitoring code - (FEAT) preliminary linux-ris support for windows installs (WIP) -- not finished, should not be considered a 1.6 feature - (FEAT) download comps.xml always - (FEAT) performance upgrades for cobblerd service to avoid reloads - (FEAT) more code for s390 imports (WIP) - (BUGF) import works better with rawhide - (FEAT) snippet to preserve SSH host keys across reinstalls - (FEAT) email trigger to notify when builds finish - (FEAT) triggers now are written in Python, old system still exists. - (FEAT) s390x zpxe support - (BUGF) retry power 5 times before giving up - (BUGF) fix for RHEL3 ppc imports - (FEAT) use nameserver variable in network config in Anaconda when set - (BUGF) sleep 5 seconds between power cycling systems - (FEAT) support for /usr/bin/cobbler-register This means, the core areas of the code to test are: - Does Anaconda monitoring work for you? This is more of a developer kind of thing, but if you are interested, please help test. - In general, exercise the web app and see that everything is responsive. Do changes in the CLI show up in the web app after reloading the page? (Adds/edits/deletes,renames)? - If you have a mainframe, can you get the s390 "zpxe" support to work, as documented on the Wiki page? - If you care about SSH key presentation, can you reinstall a system and are the SSH keys the same? - Can you get the email trigger to work? Does it include the information that you expect and is otherwise uncorrupted? - Does the power support you are using still work for you? - Does cobbler-register work for you? (This feature is new, so we'll probably improve it dramatically in future releases. Consider this in "BETA" state for 1.6 when it comes out). Import changes for developers of Cobbler apps: - Note any API consumers must access http(s)://server/cobbler_api now for all operations -- http://server/cobbler_api_rw has gone away. Note you can still call non-write operations on cobbler_api just as before, without having to log in. "git master" corresponds to 1.6 as of now. Again, I'll have more official test RPMs available later next week. The plan is to have all testing done in 1-2 weeks, any problems fixed/patched-up, and then get 1.6.0 out. As usual, expect a few bugfix releases to maintain 1.6 as needed if we miss anything in the initial pass.
