I'm going to start working on this jira issue.
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-100>
The main task is to replace a regex that is repeated throughout the code to
a more generic conditional check.
The current regex is used in many conditionals to determine if the OS on
the node that vcld needs interact, it is a long growing string containing
prefixes of different Linux distros, ie (rhel[0-9]|rhfc[0-9],...). This is
not sustainable and is difficult to add in additional distros.
This will be done in stages
- the 1st stage is to replace the regex with a variable $image_os_type.
This stage will touch many of the files - but only making slight changes.
- the second stage will be to extend the database OS table to handle the
easy addition of Linux distros by creating a mapping table of sorts to
correctly map kickstart to disk images which would be used during image
creation.
