Having said that I'd rather have all prefixes if that's what's decided - better to have some consistency than none. So can I suggest a phased approach. 1. decide on standard 2. enforce it - no more snippets accepted unless they conform 3. document it on the wiki 4. fix the recent snippets (post 1.4), since that should break anybody using stable and those of use who aren't should be ugly enough to sort out our own problems 5. fix the remaining snippets over time - or in the big bang to 1.6 5. could bear some thinking about. I know it's a little thing but over time this will make things cleaner, and we are mostly all sysadmins, so we should crave order! _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
