1. Dotted activity versions (e.g. Browse-149.3) are now supported.
2. Separated input and output a bit better, easier to use with puppet

Yeah it can probably be subclassed.

It's not really a custom config file parser. It's a trivial change to
Python's own ConfigParser class. The only change is i

xs-activation-httphandler.py does:
lease = myoat.get_lease(sn, 300)
if lease is not None:
myoat.mark_served_lease(sn)
resp["lease"] = lease
However, get_lease doesn't look like it will ever return None.
Instead, it returns False if there is no lease. So we
Here are the customizations we're making on top of XS-0.6 here in
Nepal. This version will start being distributed to the field on
Monday.
Kickstart file modifications:
- no GUI, just use text mode
- auto reboot at the end of installation
- no interactivity during installation
- timezone and r

What does "sort -u" do? The man page doesn't make it very clear.

Hi,
If an XO re-registers with the XS, its key is once again appended to
.ssh/authorized_keys. Since introducing automatic registration in
nepal we end up with many duplicate copies of the keys... any chance
this small patch could be added? or that we could overwrite instead of
append to the autho

I just noticed for the first time this xs-callhome thing.
What's the intended purpose of it?
It seems quite broken at the moment. It is launched by cron every few
hours, but looks for configuration in the wrong place
(/etc/sysconfig/callhome instead of
/etc/sysconfig/callhome/callhome.conf). Can i
Running XS-0.6d, "service dhcpd status" is unusually noisy. It looks
like it is regenerating the config file every time I check its status.
Is this intentional?

/etc /

Just adding RPMs would be enough, but also we're customizing the
kickstart file a little.
