cobbler TODO list now with 1-5 priority ratings always: 2 - better documentation (particularly online articles) 2 - add repo stuff in the manpages more new thoughts: 1 - support repo add taking http:// urls, which will use repotrack/reposync 3 - possibly look at pungi, though maybe not if above (^) works well. core: 1 - turn on locking in production (or think about it) -- important for rsync especially. 1 - import over http://, ftp:// in addition to existing file and rsync:// and ssh:// NOTE: possibly allow import via curl (just w/o updates)? 4 - make "cobbler sync" only change what needs to change, to be more efficient (though is this really a problem? Copying doesn't take THAT long...) 4 - make the "scrub orphans" bit a seperate command, warn by default, with an option for "--delete". Seperate from "import". This could probably be a part of "check" to avoid making another command. 5 - "check" should check if services (esp httpd) are started user interface: 5 - "cobbler add" should be distinguished from "edit" so as to not overwrite 5 - GTK (or Web) UI for Cobbler ? 5 - PXE menus would be interesting for default behavior. Set local boot to the timeout default, show all profiles. Depends on how many entries can be added... code cleanup: 5 - remove the cobbler_msg logic since i18n isn't likely ideas: 5 - make the multiple-bootloader system more plugin oriented to allow for alternative bootloaders (not neccessarily kickstart related) to be added. (Low priority) 5 - kickstart success tracking originally I implemented some of this using a CGI based system, though it really would benefit more from a custom webserver (python's HTTP server would be fine) and providing a few more options to integrate with the API. this would allow tracking of more data w/o having to store it in files, etc, and a bit more opportunity for dynamic stuff. It also prevents needing to tweak the permissions model used by the serializer, (and some additional SELinux problems). 5 - a "--next-profile" option to set the profile after a machine has kickstarted, i.e. to boot locally, etc (useful with PXE-anytime configs, or perhaps PXE configs that just probe HW or do something weird)
