Description Partha Aji 2009-03-09 22:52:20 UTC

When a kickstart profile is currently created through the wizard, the actual file is dumped on the hard drive at the creation time.  This means that any time there is an update in the code that fixes the KickstartFormatter the administrator has to apply the patch and renegenerate the files one at a time. 

A better option would be to have either a taskomatic task to check the time stamps in the file system and the rhnKickstartData and basically regenerate profiles on update AND have an api call to force regenerate each profile..

Comment 1 Justin Sherrill 2009-03-11 17:14:07 UTC

So I added a task to look for missing Wizard-style kickstart files.  If one is missing then it simply regenerates it.  

This will provide a solution for upgrades to spacewalk/satellite with cobbler, as wizard ks files will now be generated automagically.

Not sure an API call is necessary simply because the user only needs to delete everything in /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/  to regenerate all the files.
