I'm thinking I may if i have time write some patches to some and submit them via a pull request. I gennerally dont like the idea of putting user names and passwords as command line options because they show up in ps and top so in my scripts i alway give users the option to use environment variables for them instead.

Thanks for publicly publishing them with your blog.<br><br></div><div>I still haven't gotten around to testing adding kickstart distros but I will probably get to it in the next coupe of days. when I'm done I intend to submit a list of RFE's so we can get it to work through the web interface. the first one is already published here <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227499" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227499</a> and there will be more to come. Ive already determined that the list of distros seems to be hard coded in the page and should be moved to the database in fact there are already tables in the database which contain most of the information needed. infact the API uses the database table rhnksinstalltype whats missing from the database is the breed and list of path information. there also seems to be a way to add an externally managed kickstart tree that im looking into next.<br><br><br></div><div>The more i think about it though the simplest long term solution would be for spacewalk to get this information from <a href="http://www.cobblerd.org/signatures/latest.json" target="_blank">http://www.cobblerd.org/signatures/latest.json</a> like cobbler does. could also allow spacewalk in the future to automatically create a distro tree from an ISO image.<br><br></div><div>Does any one else have any ideas on this before I write an RFE?<br></div><div><br><br><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br><br></div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 8:17 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:prmarino1@gmail.com" target="_blank">prmarino1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:initial"><div style="width:100%;font-size:initial;font-family:Calibri,'Slate Pro',sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);text-align:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">That's awesome but I think you may be able to avoid the changing the url= to ks= issue by using Centos6 instead of 7 as the distro.

I wrote a blog post about getting spacewalk to work with kickstarting Ubuntu/Debian.
