Cobbler's reached a point where are there places I _could_ take it,
though I'm trying to figure out which are the most important.    If
there's any features that you would really like to have related to
provisioning/kickstart/etc, I'd like to hear about them.    There is a
rough list I've been keeping at:

Hi Michael,

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for but here goes.  My big
ticket item would be a web UI that would keep track of "diffs" between
existing repo/repos and my "subscribed" systems.  You may be familiar
with a proprietary solution from certain Linux distro.  Some subset of
that solution would be fine for me.

Thanks.

As in, say, RHN?  :)

This is outside the bounds of cobbler's scope. Namely, cobbler's role stops after kickstarting -- it doesn't keep track of OS's once installed. This isn't to say folks can't benefit from having repo-oriented tools that are useful to Fedora users and the like, however.


fwiw, over the next few weeks I intend to look at some puppet+cobbler integration, which might solve the first part of this issue.
