package: fai-client
version: 3.0
Hi,
with an unmodified /etc/fai/fai.conf and a populated /srv/fai/config (on the
client), running "fai -N softupdate" results in the error-message "Error:
Provide the URL to obtain the fai config storage in $FAI_CONFIG_SRC".
Despite, from fai.conf:
# the configuration space on the install server
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config
# how to access the fai config space
# default if undefined here: nfs://`hostname`/$FAI_CONFIGDIR
#FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://yourservername$FAI_CONFIGDIR
Then, fai hangs (and doesn't exit.)
The error+behaviour is the same, if /srv/fai/config doesnt exist, it would be
nice, if an error-message "/srv/fai/config doesnt exist" would be printed and
then fai would exit with error 1. Not filing a seperate bug for this (yet),
as first the above described issue needs to be fixed.
regards,
Holger

Because it's not that easy. Please don't ask why it's not easy.
Currently I do not want to use debconf in FAI.

So, it's possible for you to do it (using export or using -s) without
any changes needed in FAI. Therefore I think we can close this bug
now. Please also have a look at the original bug topic. It's getting a
little bit off-topic.
