Excerpts from Duffie Cooley's message of Tue Aug 23 15:24:07 -0700 2011:
Hey all I am interested in getting debian working on cobbler. I am
happy
to test and answer any questions that I can. I just moved from a CentOS
house to a Debian house and REALLY miss my cobbler setup.
What I have done so far.
I have a debian host running cobbler 2.1.0 from the debian repo. I went
into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler and copied all the .py
to .py.orig. Then I uncommented all of the debian specific stuff in
actions-import and codes. Then I pycompile and rerun my import. Now when
I run an import command I get the following output.
Duffie, you may just want to try backporting the current cobbler package
from Ubuntu, as it should build on Debian with minimal or no modification.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler
I'd be interested to hear how this goes, as we'd like for all of the
stuff we've been doing with Cobbler in Ubuntu to end up a) upstream in
Cobbler, and b) in Debian.
