Hello everyone,
I have written a small patch to add the ability to define a spacewalk/rhn management server at the distro/profile/system level rather than just at the global level in the configuration file. This was requested last weekend and I see it being useful for the case of ISPs with shared cobbler systems where a customer however has full control of their own spacewalk server.
This should inherit from the configuration file and all the way down to the system unless the value has been defined.
I have tested this as much as I can without a spacewalk server here so please let me know if you find any bugs :)
The patch has been pushed up to my github account on the lazzurs-devel branch which can be found here:
http://github.com/lazzurs/cobbler/tree/lazzurs-devel
As this is my first time using github please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.
Take care.

I actually thought of another case where this would be useful, just never replied to the thread. We have isolated prod/qa/dev environments here, but will only have one cobbler server. Our dev/qa environments use a proxy to talk to the main satellite server, so we would need to specify the proxy RHN server for those when building them, rather than directly to the production Satellite server.
We're still in the process of getting our build server together, but as soon as we do this feature would help immensely.
Thanks :)

Hello James,
If you need I can provide a patch or src.rpm for the current stable with this in as well if you need for your environment. It would be nice to get the testing done :)
Let me know either way how the testing gets on, hope you have fun with cobbler.
Take care.

All merged in, I also appreciate the code to check for compatibility with reposync flags, very nice!
Thanks!
