Cobbler 1.2.2 contains bugfixes from 1.2.1, and is a continuation of the previous releases in support of the 1.2.0 stable branch. We will continue to address bugfixes in 1.2.X until we get close to releasing 1.4 You can find source RPMs and tarballs here: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~mdehaan/files/cobbler/ In addition, this has been submitted to the Fedora mirrors (F9, F8) and EPEL (EL5, EL4) mirrors as usual. The change list is very short. This fixes 3 relatively minor bugs: It no longer loads the elilo location from the settings file, fixing users who don't have that setting stored there (and who are also using DHCP management). It now loads the "netboot_enabled" field in the WebUI correctly. Finally, it adds "named_conf", which is a configuration parameter to specify where BIND is located if using DNS management with BIND, to the config file. Finally it also packages a few directories that were previously not owned by cobbler. You will also notice I've just made http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ a simple redirect to http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler. It's pretty clear that's the center of cobbler documentation land now, and now this allows anyone to fix the documentation anywhere it lives on the site. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

Looks like you have no system records and/or it's a Python version thing. Very simple fix incoming... --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
