Description Dan Callaghan 2012-01-16 05:16:45 UTC

Beaker should be able to generate a complete kickstart for a given system, based on the recipe which is currently running on it.

To achieve feature parity and minimal disruption for users, we could use Cheetah and implement a similar system of "snippets" as Cobbler currently gives us. Or we could switch to a different system of kickstart templating, such as Snake templates.

Comment 1 Bill Peck 2012-01-16 15:04:49 UTC

Could we support different templates easily?  have the default be cheetah and allow users to specify different?

First line of snippet or kickstart would specify what template?

##cheetah
or
##snake
or
##foobar

Beaker 0.9.0 has been released.
