James - thanks for the prompt reply! What you say makes perfect sense... Definitely looking forward to the new functionality!
However, in the past I've had to change the codes.py file for any newer versions to import. In this instance, I see fedora17 and fedor18 both listed in codes.py. Should I still be seeing the generic26? ----- Original Message ----- > From: "James Cammarata" <j...@sngx.net> > To: "cobbler mailing list" <cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org> > Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 11:24:15 AM > Subject: Re: [cobbler] Oddity when importing Fedora 17 > > On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 10:13 AM, Scot Floess <sflo...@redhat.com> > wrote: > > I'm importing a number of distros: > > > > ... > > > > I have a script to perform the imports - so its mostly the same > > call...
