Title: orchestra-import-isos does not update Status in “cobbler” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “orchestra” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: currently, ubuntu-orchestra-provisioning-server will install a cron job in /etc/cron.d/orchestra-import-isos that runs weekly. That runs /usr/sbin/orchestra-import-isos , which does has code like this: # Skip if cobbler already has this distro/arch combo if ! (cobbler distro list | grep -qs " $r-$a$"); then # Import the iso cobbler-ubuntu-import $r-$a fi The stanza there makes sense to not waste bandwidth, but it is insufficient in 2 ways: 1.) it will not update the development release (even from an iso imported during development to a released iso), which ensures that the user will have failed installs of development releases. (bug 850886) 2.) if '1' is fixed, it would not do out-of-date checking and thus waste bandwidth. I think the most reasonable way to fix this is to have cobbler-ubuntu- import have a '--out-of-date-check' flag that would then check if an update was needed against a timestamp or file. Then orchestra could just check if an update was needed and if so do it, otherwise continue. related bugs: bug 850886: cobbler-ubuntu-import results in possibly stale netboot kernels bug 850880: cobbler-ubuntu-import does not pull from -updates bug 850892: orchestra-import-isos does not update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/850892/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~orchestra Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~orchestra More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
