Exactly what I was going to say :)
0.6.0 is out now, and I'll be releasing 0.6.1 (a few more refinements)
later this week.
0.4.x is pretty old.

Thanks, Michael. Through trail and error I discovered that Cobbler/Koan
did not like me using a DNS name for the system name to build a Xen VM.
When I used a MAC address for the system it worked just fine. I should
have yielded to the advice in the man pages and just used a MAC.
You don't have to do that in 0.6.x :)
Also, thanks for the heads up on 0.6.0. Along with the bug fixes it
looks to have some neat features including an increased number of
builtin variables, along with the kickstart snippets that I can use for
kickstart templates. When will 0.6.0 be moved over to the standard EPEL
repo?
Everyone just pull the RPM's out of EPEL testing. For what it's worth,
I'm using EPEL for "stable" releases
only, and "testing" builds of cobbler (like the 0.5.x series) will never
be pushed there.
From recent discussions on #epel (IRC), epel is probably going to push
quarterly, which means I can't update
periodically for bugfixes and improvements as I would like. So, as a
result, what is in EPEL stable is currently very old and I have
no way of updating it.
If you don't want the rest of your system to get packages out of EPEL
"testing" for whatever reason, you can just enable the repo,
install cobbler, and disable the repo. As long as you are on the list
you'll get the release announcements so that may be workable.

Jason
