bug in newprod

[j.schneider]

This is not a trivial modification.
If you need this enhancement, we could implement it for you.
Should we write an offer?

Hi,

Well, looking at the source, it doesn't seem a big hassle.
But yes, maybe not an official offer, but just an unofficial price for that
Thanks.

Hi wardenik,

I have some problems to give you the exact price because j.schneider
is in holidays right now and will be back in 3 weeks.
In order to have a always switch for netboot products
we have not only to modify opsi-newprod but also the opsipxeconfd
and some of the opsi libraries.
So I think the minimum will be one day (640 €).
But this is no offer.
You will get a well calculated price when j.schneider is back.

Meanwhile a workaround:
Switching a netboot product to setup creates a pipe in /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg .
If you cat these pipe to a file and rename the file to the name of the pipe,
these netboot product act like 'always'.

does this help ?

hi,

thanks.
this is a workaround that requires logging in to a console which is not good.
but there are a lot simpler ways to do that.
one is just to write a script for cron that checks if a netproduct is always state, and if so, that makes sure that the PXE link is there and if not, recreate it.
as simple as that.

the same is (i think) with opsi itself. this is (for now, because I didn't have time to check that thoroughly) a one line change in a place that unlinks the pxe config to check if it is not an 'always' setup. but I will check that later

[wardenik]

it wasn't that bad after all, took me one day to go through the code...
Patch for "always" for netboot product is attached

Hi wardenik,

thank you for the patch.

I think j.schneider will review and inetgrate it.

Hi

erm, one more thing, opsi-adminutils package
http://download.uib.de/opsi3.3/produkte/essential/
has not been refreshed ...

just uploaded opsi-adminutils_3.3.1-1.opsi

to

http://download.uib.de/opsi3.3/produkte ... al/testing

for the moment (because the stable opsi-version 3.3 is in the etch repository, the lenny repository is 'unstable' and opsi-packages for unstable in http://download.uib.de/opsi3.3/produkte ... al/testing

we plan to release an update to opsi 3.3.1 in 1-2weeks
