Description Mike McCune 2009-02-11 17:57:14 UTC

We store our kickstarts in:

/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts

They are named:

<profile-name>--<orgid>--<Org Name>.cfg

eg:

f9-i386--1--Shannon_Hughes.cfg

If the user re-activates their satellite with a new cert that has a different Org Name this will cause kickstarts to break because the cobbler profile will still have the *old* kickstart cfg file in its record:

kickstart : /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/f9-i386--1--Spacewalk_Public_Cert.cfg

we need to go through and correct all the cobbler profiles 'kickstart' fields if the org name changes.

Comment 1 Mike McCune 2009-02-24 22:52:41 UTC

Also noticed that changing the label of a kickstart profile in Spacewalk's GUI causes a 500 error:

redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: exceptions.TypeError:update() takes at most 2 arguments (4 given)

Comment 2 Justin Sherrill 2009-02-26 20:35:07 UTC

So now kickstarts will be created in 

/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/upload
/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard 

depending on type.  We create the file with  'label-orgid.cfg'  but never actually rename it.  If the user wants to he can rename it in cobbler.

So now we pull the filename from cobbler and just figure it out every time.
