Synchronize Repository of Kickstarts with Satellite

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'd like to be able to establish this satellite workflow:
    • Create a new kickstart profile, or change an existing one, using my editor of choice. Check this file into some SCM (i.e.., git)
    • Upload the profile to the sat server, using the satellite API, and have it function properly for kickstarts. I can add a git hook to upload the profile in a post-commit.
    • Retrieving the profile through the webUI should display the kickstart file as it will look to kickstart clients.
    • I'd like to be able to retrieve the profile via the API, and compare its checksum to what the git tree has; this will detect changes made via the webUI after the upload.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • Satellite 5.3.0
