I'm a bit confused on the relationship between spacewalk and cobbler.
I've read the explanation of the two-way communication that occurs
between them, but I'm not sure how I should go about actually using the
functionality. The snippets are viewable in spacewalk, but not editable,
and there's no way to use them via spacewalk. It appears that you have
to edit the profile in /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/wizard/ directly.
You actually can add snippets in 2 ways:
1) In the Kickstart Details -> Advanced Options screen at the very
bottom is a:
Custom options:
In that box you can add snippets:
$SNIPPET('cobbler_registration')
2) Add a %pre or %post script that references snippets with the above
syntax.
However,
will spacewalk croak on arbitrary changes to this file considering that
it's generated automagically? Should I dispense entirely with
spacewalk-generated profiles and create my own from scratch? What's the
Best Practice here?
I would stick to editing them in the GUI and adding snippets as I have
described above. If you want to use hand-created kickstart files you
can do that to, just copy-paste your own file into the 'upload new
kickstart file' page:
