– remove fix-nameserver-search.fix; bug is invalid (boo#1029276)
-> not needed anymore
– fix cobbler yaboot handling (boo#968406, boo#966622)
-> no yaboot support anymore
– support UEFI boot with cobbler generated tftp tree (boo#1020376)
-> upstream
– Enabling PXE grub2 support for PowerPC (boo#986978)
-> We have grub2 support for ppc64le

-> is in
– no koan support anymore: boo#969541, boo#924118, boo#967523

entry in pxe menu (boo#988889)

now:

not need/use the genders package.

remove already integrated or not needed anymore patches.
– Serial console support added, did some testing already Things should
start to work as expected
– Add general grub2 support
– Put mkgrub.* into mkgrub.sh
– Add git date and commit to version string for now
– Add grub2 mkimage scripts: mkgrub.i386-pc mkgrub.powerpc-ieee1275
mkgrub.x86_64-efi mkgrub.arm64-efi and generate grub executables with
them in the %post section
– build server wants explicite package in BuildRequires; use tftp
– require tftp(server) instead of atftp
– cleanup: cobbler is noarch, so arch specific requires do not make sense
– SLES15 is using /etc/os-release instead of /etc/SuSE-release, use this
one for checking also
– add sles15 distro profile (boo#1090205)
– fix signature for SLES15 (boo#1075014)

– detect if there is already another instance of “cobbler sync” running
and exit with failure if so (boo#1081714)
– do not try to hardlink to a symlink. The result will be a dangling
symlink in the general case (boo#1097733)

– rotate cobbler logs at higher frequency to prevent disk fillup
(boo#1113747)

(CVE-2018-1000225) (boo#1104287) (boo#1104189) (boo#1105442)
– Check access token when calling ‘modify_setting’ API endpoint
(boo#1104190) (boo#1105440) (CVE-2018-1000226)
