Dear Spacewalk Community, here at SUSE we are about starting development on a new feature called Action Chaining, and we would like to try and get you involved from the very beginning this time.
This is about scheduling a "chain" of actions on a server or a group of servers, instead of single operations as it is currently possible. A "chain" is a sequence of operations like package installs, configuration changes, reboots, etc. to be executed one after another when scheduled. To limit development time, we currently plan on supporting a subset of actions based on users' feedback we collected so far. You can find a complete list, together with a more precise description of this feature, some screenshots and mockups here: http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/ActionChaining Note: these mockups have a SUSE Manager look and feel since they have also been used for internal discussions in SUSE. Please simply ignore the styling at this point. We appreciate your input about this, especially if there is any aspect that you consider blocking for upstreaming. Development on this feature will take place on the master-action-chaining branch on the Spacewalk repo and during in the coming weeks. I plan to regularly push commits there so that you can comment on code at any time. Hopefully this will ease acceptance checks and merging when development ends. Thanks for your cooperation in advance, -- Silvio Moioli SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg Germany _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
