[et-mgmt-tools] Cobbler 0.4.6

[Michael DeHaan]

Cobbler 0.4.6, codename "Easter Squirrel", is now released.

The main point of this release was to bugfix some of the repository 
handling code, as well as cobbler_syslogd -- all things reported on this 
list -- and also to improve repository management in general to
add some new capabilities.

Cobbler can now mirror http:// and ftp:// yum mirrors with "cobbler repo 
add".  This is relatively huge as rsync:// mirrors are generally hard to 
come by, especially for 3rd party software.   I also have some
very-very-beta support for mirroring channel content from RHN.   All of 
this is detailed here:

Another thing to be aware of is that cobbler now knows how to set up 
your provisioned boxes to use the cobbler server as a source for yum 
"core packages" out of the box, without you doing anything.
To take advantage of this, you'll need to do a fresh "cobbler import", 
as import now keeps track of some extra information in order to do 
this.  If you're provisioning machines on one network and then
moving them to another, you probably want this turned off.     How to do 
this is mentioned in the manpage in the "advanced topics" section.   If 
you aren't using "cobbler import", it won't do this.

To understand really what's going on, feel free to look at kickstarts in 
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts and /var/www/cobbler/kickstarts_sys after 
you run "cobbler sync", and it should be fairly obvious.   As always,
suggestions/comments welcome.
