cobbler_web does not support sub profiles fully?

by Alastair Munro

Hi cobbler and cobbler-web at 2.6.1-7.1. Sub profiles cannot select distros from the drop down on the web page. Is there a setting as to whether sub profiles can be edited or not? I thought they were just like profiles and take values from the parent if a value is not set? I created the sub profile from the web page. I had problems selecting other options and had to set them from the command line. Reason I want a parent profile is I want to put all my templated files in there, have a generic el6 parent and then use sub profiles to select different distros (rh/centos/si-linux varying versions of el6, minor release, etc) and pass a ksmeta flag to select different builds (we like to reduce the number of kickstarts to maintain and just have one that does everything). Functionality from the command line is fine. Let me know if a new version is coming soon :) Thanks in advance Alastair

What's the difference?

by Michael Tiernan

Just wondering, i didn't see it on the webpages anywhere, what's the difference between 2.4 & 2.6? Or maybe I should ask why two releases?

Re: [cobbler] cobbler_web does not support sub profiles fully?

by Harry Hoffman

I would use them and have used them in the past, even filing a bug report when they first broke. Some sort of inheritance would be great for profiles.

Anyone using s390 support in Cobbler?

by Jörgen Maas

Hey all, I'm wondering if there any users of the s390 capabilities of Cobbler.As far as i can tell that part of the code hasn't been touched for a while, could be that it just works or nobody's using it ;-). Please let me know if you're using it and what works and what doesn't. Personally i'd like to get rid of all legacy for Cobbler 3.0; meaning anything other than x86_64 and ppc64.Comments? Thanks! -- Grtz, Jörgen Maas
