Ticket filed here: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/413 The current defaults are backwards. While it's still syntactically valid YAML, it will cause Puppet to choke, throwing an obscure "Can't convert String to Integer" error. This patch just corrects the default values, and the inconsistency. If cobbler knows about the host, it returns YAML with the correct formatting. (i.e. classes: [someclass]) So, it's also slightly inconsistent behavior to return "classes: {}" when there's no assigned classes. ---Brett. --- services.py.orig 2009-03-30 12:58:40.000000000 -0700 +++ services.py 2009-03-30 12:58:41.000000000 -0700 @@ -222,8 +222,8 @@ results = self.remote.find_system_by_dns_name(hostname) - classes = results.get("mgmt_classes", {}) - params = results.get("mgmt_parameters",[]) + classes = results.get("mgmt_classes", []) + params = results.get("mgmt_parameters",{}) newdata = { "classes" : classes, _______________________________________________ cobbler-devel mailing list cobbler-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler-devel
