--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : cobbler
Product : Fedora EPEL 7
Version : 2.6.7
Release : 1.el7
URL :
http://www.cobblerd.org/
Summary : Boot server configurator
Description :
Cobbler is a network install server. Cobbler supports PXE, ISO
virtualized installs, and re-installing existing Linux machines.
The last two modes use a helper tool, 'koan', that integrates with
cobbler. There is also a web interface 'cobbler-web'. Cobbler's
advanced features include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync
mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum mirroring, and built-in
DHCP/DNS Management. Cobbler has a XMLRPC API for integration with
other applications.

* Minor improvements to edit snippets/kickstarts template (cobbler-web)
* Allow for empty system status

Upgrade notes
This release makes the use of --parent and --distro mutually exclusive. The consequence is
that subprofiles always have the same distro as the parent profile. This has been the
intended behaviour ever since subprofiles got introduced.
Please check if you have subprofiles with different distros than the parent profile and
reconsider and adjust your configuration.

be changed again (#1156)
