[Bug 850892] Re: orchestra-import-isos does not update
This bug was fixed in the package cobbler - 2.1.0+git20110602-0ubuntu26
---------------
cobbler (2.1.0+git20110602-0ubuntu26) oneiric; urgency=low
* debian/cobbler-ubuntu-import: Add --check-update and --remove
functionality. This should help orchestra-import-isos keep local
ISO caches up-to-date. (LP: #850892)

Title:
orchestra-import-isos does not update
Status in “cobbler” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “orchestra” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
currently, ubuntu-orchestra-provisioning-server will install a cron
job in /etc/cron.d/orchestra-import-isos that runs weekly.
That runs /usr/sbin/orchestra-import-isos , which does has code like this:
# Skip if cobbler already has this distro/arch combo
if ! (cobbler distro list | grep -qs " $r-$a$"); then
# Import the iso
cobbler-ubuntu-import $r-$a
fi
The stanza there makes sense to not waste bandwidth, but it is insufficient in 2 ways:
1.) it will not update the development release (even from an iso imported during development to a released iso), which ensures that the user will have failed installs of development releases. (bug 850886)
2.) if '1' is fixed, it would not do out-of-date checking and thus waste bandwidth.
I think the most reasonable way to fix this is to have cobbler-ubuntu-
import have a '--out-of-date-check' flag that would then check if an
update was needed against a timestamp or file. Then orchestra could
just check if an update was needed and if so do it, otherwise
continue.
