Can't create a variable with a space in the value
Last modified: 2009-09-10 15:25:47 EDT
Try to create a variable with a space in the value i.e. buddy=my name is jonas it fails. The following should work: buddy=my name is jonas buddy="my name is jonas"
this is the variable page for profiles, systems, and distros.
Unless this is fixed, the variables (a feature of the cobbler integration) is nearly useless, as you would only be able to use 1 word variables.
Variables are used in cobbler templates so you can define variables for distros, profiles, and systems as key value pairs. So say on some systems you want to clear the partition tables, but on a select few you don't. You can define the variable clearpart = clearpart --all at the profile level. Then you simply redefine for those select systems as: clearpart = clearpart --none then in your kickstart you would add: $clearpart as a kickstart option. For all systems by default it would then replace $clearpart with "clearpart --all" unless it was overridden on that system.
