This patch enables a --autodetect-system argument to koan. It's for use with --replace-self. When --autodetect-system is used, koan gets the local mac address, compares it to the listed mac addresses it got from xmlrpc information. If there is a single match, that system is set, and the --replace-self process goes on as usual. The patch is off the 0.5.0 release. Currently, it grabs the mac address through some parsing of the output of ifconfig. This is non-ideal and is marked as such in the comments. I was pointed to some code that used rhpl, but that would require a new import in koan.

I really like this idea for doing re-imaging -- a good use case would be for a lot of public terminal setups that do nightly reinstalls, etc -- but for whatever reason didn't want to just use --profile ... or want the abstraction capability to change what profile a system is pointed to.
I may tweak this slightly to make the argument duplication checks a bit simpler, but otherwise, a good patch. I'll include this shortly.
Thanks! --Michael _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
