I'd be interested in any or all of them. Could you give me an
overview on all of them and tell me which ones you think would be
appropriate for a maintenance release?
Sure. These three are all fixes for moderate to serious bugs, and
should be suitable for a maintenance release.
[PATCH] Bugfix: run createrepo on partial yum mirrors
Partial yum mirrors (created with "--rpm-list") are broken without
this patch.
[PATCH] Bugfix: allow the creation of subprofiles again
Subprofile creation (with "cobbler profile add --parent") is broken
without this patch.
[PATCH] Bugfix: fetch extra metadata from upstream repositories more
safely
Using "-C" in createrepo_flags is broken without this patch. The
patch also prevents clients from downloading corrupted repository
metadata while "reposync" is running.
The other two patches seem trivially safe to me (for the reasons
outlined in their commit messages), but since they're behavior changes
you may decide not to pull them into a stable release.
[PATCH] Change default mode for new directories from 0777 to 0755
[PATCH] Don't warn needlessly when repo rpm_list is empty
All of these patches are based on master. I can resend them (after
rebasing, or for any other reason) if you'd like.
