Cockpit 0.95 - cockpit-devel - Fedora mailing-lists

12 Feb 2016


      This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.95
iSCSI initiator support
-----------------------
The iSCSI support that Marius worked on with the storaged folks has
finally landed in a Cockpit release. It was waiting on fixes in some
dependencies. Have a look:

Better look when disconnected
-----------------------------
When Cockpit gets disconnected from a machine, either accidentally, or
when the system is rebooted, it now has a better look that allows
reconnecting.

Set fallback $PATH in cockpit-bridge
------------------------------------
Cockpit now sets a $PATH default in cockpit-bridge if none is set
correctly by process that invoked it. This fixes some corner case bugs,
depending on how the user logged in.

Vagrant without NFS
-------------------
Cockpit's Vagrantfile used to use NFS to keep the git checkout in sync
with the image. This caused many folks to have a hard time using Vagrant
to hack on Cockpit, so the NFS stuff is now dropped. You can still bring
up the vagrant VM as before:
$ sudo vagrant up
And then access Cockpit on https://localhost:9090
However if you make changes to the stuff in the git repo, you need to
run an extra vagrant command before the running VM will pick it up:
$ sudo vagrant rsync
See HACKING.md in the git repo for more details:
