@@ -1,81 +1,4 @@ Cobbler NEWS (all entries mdehaan@redhat.com unless noted otherwise) -====================================================== -0.2.7 -- RHEL4, pexpect not required, "enchant" changes -====================================================== - -Cobbler now builds on RHEL4 out of the box! - -In order to make Cobbler work on more platforms, the dependancy on -pexpect (a python module) has been removed. SSH is now invoked directly. -This means Cobbler now builds very easily on RHEL 4. - -As a result, this means that to run "enchant" a remote system, that -system needs to have the cobbler server in the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -file or the password will be prompted for multiple times. Use ssh-agent -if this is undesirable. - -In addition, the arguments to "enchant" have changed to make it more -flexible. See the manpage for details. - -=================================== -0.2.6 -- Cheetah no longer required -=================================== - -Cobbler is losing it's dependency on Cheetah for kickstart templating. -Most users won't be affected, templating still works as described in the -manpage. A future release will remove the dependancy on pxssh, allowing -for better installation on RHEL4. - -============================= -0.2.5 -- New "import" feature -============================= - -Cobbler now contains an import command. It currently can -work in either of two modes (see manpage) -- filesystem directory -trees and rsync:// mirrors. - -Rsync mirror support enables near instanteous setup of a new provisioning -environment by auto-importing distribution and profile information for -automatic installation. - -The "enchant" command has been slightly modified in terms of what -arguments it requires. See the manpage if you have been using -that command. - -=============================== -0.2.2 -- IA64 PXE Go For Launch -=============================== - -Having had the time to do proper IA64 testing with elilo, Itanium -PXE support is now confirmed to work. --pxe-arch and --pxe-address -must both be set on the IA64 system when it is created with cobbler. - -Additional bugfixes have improved stability of the dhcpd.conf generation. - -============================== -0.2.1 -- New "enchant" feature -============================== - -Usage of "enchant" can install a profile on a remote system, even -if that system does not have the koan helper tool installed. -You'll need an IP or system name, a profile name, and the password -to the system. See the manpage. - -======================================================= -0.2.0 -- New dhcp.conf templating and IA64 PXE features -======================================================= - -Cobbler now contains an experimental dhcpd.conf templating feature. -Read the manpage, and if you want to use it, back up your existing -dhcpd.conf before enabling that feature. It is *OFF* by default. - -When using that feature, dhcpd.conf can associate MAC addresses -with hostnames (as defined from cobbler), and cobbler can -also differentiate between IA64 and x86/x86_64 network boots. Each -time cobbler sync is run, it will build a new dhcpd.conf based on -/etc/cobbler/dhcpd.template. - -Cobbler is now packaging ELILO to enable IA64 booting. - +No NEWS is good NEWS.
