Hi Michael,
I have possibly missed something like an upgrade step, but today after
upgrading from 1.2.9-1 to 1.3.1-1 and doing prep work for FC10
reinstalls, I have been getting errors in the WebUI on the templates
surrounding bonding when trying to edit old systems. I can provide
details if needed, but I was wondering if it was worth my time to
track down the problem and come up with fix options, or if it was
already fixed in this release.
Oh... I also got bitten by the hostname variable being changed. :)
Yes, please let me know details and steps to reproduce this. If you
have any tracebacks seen in /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler.log or in the Web
app itself, that would be helpful to see.
Templates resolving on the preservation of old variables like
$hostname_intf0 (or $hostname_eth0, etc) and the like will need
tweaking. However, the code should be (and I'll audit this next week)
set up so that a good value is set for hostname if not already so
$hostname will continue to work. The new templates cobbler will ship
with have stuff to set up the networking aspects surrounding these
automagically, so they would be a good resource to consult.
Thanks!
