From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: 1) It would be nice if the path system-config-netboot uses could be configured in, for example, /etc/sysconfig/netboot: DEFAULT=/tftpboot/linux-install rather than having to hack the Python source (to remove '/linux-install') 2) System-config-netboot displays warnings on startup about my config files in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg because they are named 'incorrectly'. i.e. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep 4 15:26 0AF022 -> el3u7_csl_ldap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep 4 15:26 0AF029 -> el3u7_lws_ldap 3) Lastly, it would be really nice if system-config-netboot backed up files (such as 0AF029) before replacing them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-netboot-0.1.41-1.FC6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A: Enhancement request Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional info:
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
Reassigning to component owner.
system-config-netboot is missing from Fedora 8 and Fedora 7 uses exactly the same version of system-config-netboot as FC6. Thanks CC
There should be s-c-netboot 0.1.42 in F7 and F8, I updated them recently. I can even see it on mirrors, e.g. system-config-netboot-0.1.42-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
ad 1) That seems reasonable though you can configure it just fine now, no big hacking. Look for PXEBOOTDIR in netboot_util.py. It's used everywhere except one place in pxeos.py, which can be fixed by this patch (that's a bug): 372c372 < return "/tftpboot/linux-install/" + self.getNameDir() --- > return PXEBOOTDIR + self.getNameDir() Anyway, I'll add support for preferences file with next release. ad 2) I don't really understand what is the problem. I tried to make those symlinks but system-config-netboot didn't complain about anything. It worked even with multiple symlinks pointing to one config. ad 3) Again, I don't understand why exactly you need those backups. S-c-nb should not overwrite any options except those which can be defined in GUI (or on command line, depending on tool used). Thanks for the bug report and try to be more specific, please. Some examples/error messages would certainly help. (moving this to Fdevel as FC6 will be EOL'ed soon)
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
