Because existing kickstart pre and post scripts may contain $variables that are not going to resolve when cobbler renders the profiles we need to pre and postpend the following during the upgrade of Satellite 5.2 -> 5.3: #raw .. existing script .. #end raw this will ensure compatibility. Also need a tooltip on the kickstart script create/edit page noting that if you have $variables that are not associated with the profile you need to wrap them with #raw and #end raw
b668fba so i added a 'template' option to the scripts edit/create page that is disabled by default. If it's disabled #raw & #end raw are added to the script
Moving to RELEASE_PENDING Verified that "template" option checkbox controls the inserts of "#raw #end raw" by looking at a kickstart file under /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard #raw %post --interpreter testscript01 $TEMP_VALUE #end raw
