Working on spacewalk-report, I stumble upon inventory report, which goes
like this:
# spacewalk-report inventory
server_id,profile_name,hostname,ip_address,ipv6_address,registered_by,registration_time,last_checkin_time,kernel_version,packages_out_of_date,errata_out_of_date,software_channel,configuration_channel,entitlements,system_group,organization,virtual_host,architecture,hardware

I added ipv6_address column, that's no problem. But column hardware (the
last one) contains various information delimited using semicolon and
space. And the network information is there as:
name ip_addr hw_addr
The question is whether we want ipv6_addr in this column and where?
Most straigtforward would be:
name ip_addr ip6_addr hw_addr
but that can break existing customers scripts around spacewalk-report. So
name ip_addr hw_addr ipv6_addr
would be probably better
But there is another problem as there are more then one ipv6 address for
every interface.
Se we should there:
name ip_addr hw_addr ipv6_addr1 ipv6_addr2 ....
And question is whether I should filter out link addresses, which has
very probably zero value for admins.
Lots of questions. And I would like to hear your opinions.
