4.0.0: * Improved error handeling for AdvanceParser.py Author: Dennis Stam * debian/postinst. Use /bin/echo instead of echo else wrong entry in /etc/services, closes #13 Author: Bodo MeiBner Applied by: Bas van der Vlies * debian/control. Fixed dependecies problems for pxeconfig package. Added inetd | xinetd, closes #14 Author: Bodo MeiBner Applied by: Bas van der Vlies * pxemenu has been updated. See: - INSTALL-pxemenu - README-pxemenu - Updates for SYSLINUX version 4.02. - Some obsolete menus (UBC,Ghost) have been removed. Author: Ole Holm Nielsen * Added support hosts that only can use mac address for pxelinux configuration. This is used in environments where dynamic ip's are used. To enable this you must set in pxeconfig.conf: [DEFAULT] arp_command : /usr/sbin/arp -n You must use hostname shortcuts. Edit pxelinux.conf and add for eg: [bas] mac_address: 00:19:b9:de:21:47 Now you can use: pxeconfig bas We can mix hostname and mac-address on the command line Author: Bas van der Vlies 3.1.2: * Added rpm spec file Author: Ramon Bastiaans ( bastiaans add sara dot nl ) * Fixed a bug in pxconfig when 'client_script_hook' is not set in pxeconfig file. Reporter: Ramon Bastiaans (bastiaans add sara dot nl) Fixed by: Bas van der Vlies * Removed some obselete code from pxeconfigd Fixed by: Bas van der Vlies 3.1.0: * Added client/daemon hook script code. Two new options for the pxeconfig.conf file - daemon_script_hook - client_script_hook We use these scripts to open (client_script_hook) and close (daemon_script_hook) ports on the firewall. So not everybody can do an rsync or use a bittorrent client to get useful info.

Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies & Ole Holm Nielsen - Fixed some spell errors Author: Bas van der Vlies & Ole Holm Nielsen - Add new optione -w/--equal-width, eg: * pxeconfig -w --basename gb-r40n -s 1 -e 2 --filename default.install Will create links to default.install for hosts: gb-r40n09 gb-r40n10 Suggested by : Ole Holm Nielsen Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies - Various bugs fixed with setting pxeconfig directory in pxeconfig.conf: - Setting of the pxeconfig directory in config file did not have any effect - Convert pxeconfig directory to realpath else os.chdir fails Author: Bas van der Vlies - Fixed a bug in short option '-b' (basename) must have an argument. Author: Bas van der Vlies - In analogue with systemimager we have a -H,--host-range - option. It must be used in combinatiion with -b,--basebane, eg: pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 1-2 -filename default.memtestZ will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts - gb-r1n1 - gb-r1n2 If leading zeros are used, then host names will be padded with zeros. pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 01-02 -filename default.memtestZ will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts - gb-r1n01 - gb-r1n02 Suggested by : Ole Holm Nielsen Implemented by : Bas van der Vlies - We do need the check for a C-compiler so remove it from the configure.in and made a new configure Author: Bas van der Vlies - Added -R,--rack and -N,--node option, eg: pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r1-r2 --node n1-n2 -f default.memtest will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts: - gb-r1n1 - gb-r1n2 - gb-r2n1 - gb-r2n2 If leading zeros are used, then rack and/or node names will be padded with zeros, eg: pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r01-r02 --node n01-n02 -f default.memtest will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts: - gb-r01n01 - gb-r01n02 - gb-r02n01 - gb-r02n02 Author: Bas van der Vlies - Added --dry-run mode Author: Bas van der Vlies 1.0.0 - List of pxeconfig files are now sorted alphabetically - Use GNU getopt.

This is for host with a common prefix, eg: pxeconfig --basename gb-r40n --start 1 --end 2 --filename default.install Will create links to default.install for hosts: gb-r40n1 gb-r40n2 Implemented by: Bas van der Vlies - Added pxe-menu tools: The PXE-menu tools are used to control the booting of networked computers directly from the computer's console at the BIOS level before any operating system has been loaded. This is extremely useful for diagnostic purposes, or for selecting an operating system installation method, of an individual computer. For further information please read the files README-pxemenu and INSTALL-pxemenu.
