have on if we should move and what we should move to.
I'd love to see this. Any language which uses a single '#' for a
comment and a double '#' for an instruction is just plain dumb in my
opinion and is one of the reasons I don't use templating in my kickstart
files - too much room for human error.
The Django style of templating would be awesome, it makes far more sense
to me than Cheetah does, so +1 for Django.
Additionally, I'm considering if we should continue to
explicitly
support EL4 for running Cobbler on. This would be due to the fact that
many of the really nice templating languages are just not supported on
the version of python that EL4 runs. We would continue to support
running koan on EL4 (in fact I think we will still run all the way back
to AS2.1). Are there people that are still running Cobbler on EL4?
We're only running EL4 on a few webservers and we've made a rule that
EL4/Centos4 isn't going anywhere near our production kit or cobbler, so
it makes no difference here... :)
Cheers,
