Nothing major. This is mainly just to update the apps with a few needed features while development on Cobbler 0.7.X continues.
Cobbler 0.6.5 changes:
- Fix for f8 comps.xml name change
- Fix for repo file permissions during cobbler reposync

Koan 0.6.4 has a few more features:
- Added --nogfx option when creating virtual guests to disable VNC and just use the console - Allow Xen machines to be constructed with no disks (size=0), but not qemu/KVM
- Support Xen Fullvirt via PXE (requires Cobbler 0.7.X)

FYI, F9 Xen will (almost certainly) contain support for booting Xen
fullvirt guests with a direct kernel + initrd.  I've got the patches
in rawhide - Xen config syntax is the same as for paravirt guests.

Great! PXE is still undoable for a large portion of the install base (because of static
IPs or other IT reasons), so that will be great thing to have.

Need
to get them accepted by upstream Xen, but once that's done I'll enable
support in libvirt. So we'll have parity in terms of local boot functionality between Xen PV, Xen HVM and KVM. Just PXE for Xen paravirt
to figure out now...

Yep, sounds good, let me know when I can add them to koan and I'll get it in there!

Dan.
