deployments with multiple stages, WAS: Re: cobbler Digest, Vol 38, Issue 24

I'm/we are using hardlinks to create snapshots van rpm downloads... We pull daily the rpm's from the internet. For deploying Fedora we use 3 stages: 1) incoming (repo_mirror) # from the internet, changes daily 2) testing (knmi_test) # copy'd once from incoming to testing and then frozen !!! this is hardlink'd 3) production (knmi_all) # after acceptance the testing mirror is copied once to the production repo. I think cobbler needs some kind of system to make it possible to deploy "OTAP" --- *Ontwikkeling Test Acceptatie en Productie*, or *Development, Testing, Acceptance and Production*, (*DTAP*) For that we must be able to revert back from Production tot Acceptance/Testing fase...
