[Bug 950193] Re: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler
The dependency on cobbler was dropped in favor of maas-provision, rendering the MIR obsolete.

[Bug 950193] Re: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler
Adding a maas-provision task as it is a code-copy of maas. Since maas will only use a subset of cobbler functionality, this will make its maintenance burden lighter. Also once bug 975473, the maintenance burden should be much improved. Conditional ACK for maas-provision provided: * bug #975473 is fixed for 12.04.1 * bug #975442 is fixed for 12.04. ** Summary changed: - [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler + [FFe] [MIR] maas-provision -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950193 Title: [FFe] [MIR] maas-provision To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/950193/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 950193] Re: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler
- The package is not lintian clean - It ships its own tftpd server, which is undesirable - Has had 5 CVEs assigned since 2009. - It ships an upstart job that runs cobblerd. While it listens on the loopback interface and is written in python, it runs as root - While I did not perform an in depth audit, the most cursory inspection of code shows that various parts of it are not coded well (eg, use of 'os.system', predictable filenames, etc) I don't think cobbler is supportable for 5 years and would greatly prefer to keep it out of main. I am in discussions with the server team on alternatives. If maas moved away from cobbler (LP: #975473) in the 12.04.1 timeframe, it might be acceptable to keep cobbler in main with 18 months support (with a release note stating this), but a condition of the main inclusion would be an apparmor profile. ** Changed in: cobbler (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: cobbler (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) = Andres Rodriguez (andreserl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950193 Title: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/950193/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 950193] Re: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler
Unfortunately, we are in the awkward position that cobbler was pre- promoted. However, the server team and I have discussed cobbler quite a bit before now and my analysis should come as no surprise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950193 Title: [FFe] [MIR] Cobbler To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/950193/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
