Summary: Feature request: read overrides from file
Initial Comment:
Dear developers,
I am not sure if this feature was in an earlier version
of systemimager already or if I modified the code
myself and overwrote it when updating the package -
anyway - here is my suggestion:
I have clients with different hardware (CRT/TFT
Monitors, SATA/PATA disks, CD and DVD writers in some
etc.) so I make intensive use of overrides.
I have a file /etc/systemimager/overrides on the disk
of my clients containing a override request per line.
(si_)updateclient reads this file and includes these
requests as they would be given by the -override
command line option. The /etc/systemimager/overrides
file is listed in my
/etc/systemimager/updateclient.local.exclude and
adjusted once per client for its particular configuration.
The changes to the code are trivial:
*** updateclient Tue May 9 15:02:28 2006
--- /usr/sbin/updateclient Tue Feb 28 07:04:52 2006

"log=s" => \my $log,
) or die qq($help_info);
-
- if (-e "/etc/systemimager/overrides") {
- open (FH, "/etc/systemimager/overrides");
- while (<FH>) {
- chomp;
- push (@overrides, $_);
- }
- close (FH);
- }
-
# if requested, print version information
if($version) {
version();
--- 124,129 ----
I think this modification could also be useful for
other users.
I run dsh -a -c "/root/updateclient -server sysimager
-image sarge_020506" to update all my clients, each
with its particular configuration.
I would be happy if the code could be included into the
distribution.
Thank you for the great tool!
Timm
