I committed some patches for Cobbler 2.2 support tonight. It'd be great if a
few others could test to ensure I didn't break anything before 1.6 is released.
I tested the following scenarios:
- fresh Cobbler 2.0 install
- fresh Cobbler 2.2 install
- 2.0 to 2.2 upgrade
And these operations:
- create new kickstart
- update existing kickstart
- create cobbler record for a system

That is just assumption. In most cases correct. But all this code is
just wild heuristics trying to do less evil.
I can change the order of
for family in (AF_INET, AF_INET6):
in findHostByRoute() to:
for family in (AF_INET6, AF_INET):
I have to admit this will get better data more often.

How should I decide which hostname is correct?
And what should I do with machine with IPv4 address 123.45.56.67 which
resolves to machine1.broken.dns and IPv6 address
2620:52:0:2223:20c:29ff:fe0e:d05b which resolves machine2.broken.dns?
If you are unable to resolve the hostname using gethostbyaddr()
(getfqdn() is essentially wrapper around this one function), then you do
not deserve sane data. If user has broken networking, he should fix it
in first place.
Hmm what I can do is:
hostname_tmp = socket.getfqdn(intf_tmp)
if hostname_tmp != intf_tmp:
hostname = hostname_tmp
But you can admit, that user can be so ugly, that machine with hostname
123.45.56.67 will have IPv4 address 123.45.56.67.
I do not think we can catch all possibilities here.

How do we want to handle Cobbler 2.2 support in the upcoming release? 2.2 has
some nice features and I think it'd be good to support it. Do we want to drop
2.0 support or try to work some logic in to detect the Cobbler version? I'm
not sure if we'd want to bring that into places like KickstartFormatter.java.
The items that would need changed in Spacewalk based on a quick look:
- kickstart_{start,done} macros to snippets in
com.redhat.rhn.manager.kickstart.KickstartFormatter
- 'subnet' field changed to 'netmask' in org.cobbler.Network
Am I missing any other changes? Is anyone else already working on this?
