[katello-devel] Bootstrapping katello

[Lukas Zapletal]

If you make it into the master, please make sure the rake task is NOT
distributed in katello-common rpm, but in katello-devel package. See the
SPEC file for examples.

Btw I provision my instances with snap-guest and simple set of bash
scripts which do the same as your bootstrap, but it's more readable and
more straightforward :-)

(I don't share my shell scripts because they are big mess, but writing
one is matter of ten minutes)

Guys, if you make it to the master, please document it on the wiki.
Preferably make a section or something, because both scripts do similar
things.

I figured it might be worthwhile to set up something similar for Katello after some recent problems people have been experiencing. Not only will it appeal to Ruby/Rails developers but it might also make it easier for us to setup development instances of Katello. In addition, I think it might be easier to maintain than the wiki page and we could also allow for custom logic in the boostrap task in order to support different ways of setting up katello. To illustrate this last point, you could have some tasks like:
