I'm completely green.
First and foremost, don't do this on a system you care about - there are no guarantees when it comes to data when using the development branches. I also do not recommend running these commands if you already have a RPM installed. That said, run "git clone git://github.com/cobbler/cobbler.git" to get a copy of the code, and from there all you need to know is "make install" (run that just the first time) and "make webtest", which will save your config files/data while updating the installation. You can also run "make rpms" and then force install/update them, but that can get to be a pain if you're actually making changes to the code (it's fairly slow to build the RPMs), but if all you want is the most up-to-date code this may be all you need. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
