Hi
I just worked out how to use them yesterday and documented here:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Using-template-scripts-for-Debian-and-Ubuntu-seeds
Also, I think cobbler_web should have a left hand option for template
scripts and someone might update the official docs on what they are and
how to use them?
Thanks

I'd like to understand better the purpose of the generic templated

scripts directory in Cobbler repository. The script() method in
cobbler/services.py seems
to be the responsible for creating these and, according to
documentation, the purpose
is to generate scripts based on snippets useful for post or late
action where it
is difficult to embed the script in the
kickstart/autoyast/preseed file. I see only two
of those in upstream Cobbler: preseed_early_default and
preseed_late_default.
These scripts only include snippets and are only used in sample
preseed available
in kickstarts/ directory. I dont understand why these 2 scripts
could not be embedded
directly in the sample preseed.
Is anyone using this feature?

Considering the lack of answers and apparent lack of interest in
this feature, do we
need to keep it in the future versions of Cobbler? Removing it
would make code simpler.

I am very much interested in this feature. The problem is that
preseed file that is used in debian/ubunty installer (d-i) is a lot
less convenient then kickstart. In particular, early- and late-
installation scripts are not very easy to configure. I had to cook a
one line command with some sort of black magic to make it work if I
used snippets. I hope those scripts made it easier and more readable.
I never got a chance to give them a try, but it is on my to-do list. I
am not sure who contributed this feature to cobbler, but the lack of
documentation or use-case example make them less appealing. I think,
they work as some sort of wrappers, which are not necessary for
anaconda-based installations.
This mail list is not very active lately, unfortunately, but lack of
the answer does not mean lack of interst
