Hi Scott,
Thanks for the help. It seems that using template_remote_kickstarts: 0 will maintain the requirement for not locally templating/serving a remote kickstart if the kickstart path is remote.
What is the purpose of this flag if not designed to "trust" the execution of remote templates? The description and current behavior seems broken. I find it very useful to use source control on kickstart files in combination with cobbler templating and serving them up.
My approach to this would be to check out a copy of the source control repository into /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts.
However, as for your specific approach, from looking at the code there is no reason it shouldn't template those files as long as template_remote_kickstarts is set to True. It won't fetch remote snippets, but it should do any other templating it finds. Is there anything in the logs about errors?
