Bandit is a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code. To

and runs appropriate plugins against the AST nodes.  Once Bandit has
finished scanning all the files it generates a report.

 Excerpts from Timo Aaltonen's message of 2014-02-14 05:49:38 -0800:

 Hi

   I've put cobbler packaging to collab-maint/cobbler.git, which is based
 on the original ubuntu package but has been cleaned up for the most
 part. Some ubuntuisms still remain, and some patches need to be sent
 upstream for merging.

 But it doesn't have an ITP yet, since I'm not sure if it'll be useful
 for my environment in the long run. So if someone wants to pick it up
 please let me know. I'm willing to at least co-maintain it for the time
 being, but it needs a sponsor once the packaging is considered ready.


 I think if you've already deployed Cobbler, it might be useful to keep
 it maintained. Upstream is BARELY active AFAIK.

 But there are many more modern alternatives.

 I am partial to OpenStack, which I'm working on for my paid job.
 OpenStack's compute service, nova, can be configured to do basically
 all the stuff Cobbler does using the baremetal driver. It is already
 available in Debian (thanks zigo!)

 Also Ironic will do even more and is about to graduate to a fully
 integrated project in OpenStack.

 Also Canonical was pushing Cobbler but then dropped it largely
 because MaaS (Metal as a Service) exists and is a better more modern
 implementation as well.

 So, if you need an API for hardware management, I think Cobbler is a
 fairly poor choice at this point.


Whilst I agree with the sentiment and the direction, I think it is
unfair to suggest upstream is dead... when there are commits most
days[0].

To expand on the why this was Ubuntu native and never made it into
Debian until now.. this is largely because there was only ever intent
to maintain a subset of the project for a small period, and there
wasn't a strong volunteer to maintain the whole package in Debian.

That said, it's still a perfectly cromulent project and suitable for
small scale deployments.. Not sure I have complete confidence in it's
security model.
