Is there a howto for pulling cobbler from Git and building and installing

would like this to act as a cobbler server. I found this
http://blog.milford.io/2012/03/getting-a-basic-cobbler-server-going-on-centos/
which is a great getting-started tutorial, but would like to play with what
is on git rather than install from EPEL.
I have used Cobbler 2.0.x on Fedora 14, but it was a long time ago, and I've
also forgotten my git from lack of using it. 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.
Thanks, James! I'll try that. The system is so new it is just a
play-around box. I eventually want to install CentOS on a box that I do
care about, using Cobbler. I'm quite cautious and all mistakes are my
own (smile.)
