- Removed patch merged at upstream:

- Checking bug fixes of released products are in latest develop pkg:
  - 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
  - (boo#1048183) fix missing args and location for xen
    -> is in
  - no koan support anymore:
    boo#969541, boo#924118, boo#967523
  - not installed (boo#966841)
    works.
- These still have to be looked at:
  SUSE system as systemd only (boo#952844)
  handle list value for kernel options 
  correctly (boo#973413) 
  entry in pxe menu (boo#988889)
- This still has to be switched off (at least in internal cobbler versions):
  Disabling 'get-loaders' command and 'check' fixed. boo#973418

- Add explicity require to tftp, so it is used for both SLE
  and openSUSE (originally from jgonzalez@suse.com)
- Moved Recommends according to spec_cleaner

- Require latest apache2-mod_wsgi-python3 package
  This fixes interface to http://localhost/cblr/svc/...
- Use latest github cobbler/cobbler master branch in _service file
- cobblerd_needs_apache2_service_started.patch reverted, that is mainline
  now:
- Only recommend grub2-arm and grub2-ppc packages or we might not be
  able to build on factory where arm/ppc might not be built
- Remove genders package requires. A genders file is generated, but
  we do not need/use the genders package.

- Update to latest cobbler version 3.0 mainline git HEAD version
  and 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)
- fix signature for SLES15 (boo#1075014)
- fix koan wait parameter initialization
- Fix koan shebang
- Escape shell parameters provided by the user for the
  reposync action (CVE-2017-1000469) (boo#1074594)
- 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)
- fix service restart after logrotate for cobblerd (boo#1113747)
- rotate cobbler logs at higher frequency to prevent disk fillup
  (boo#1113747)
- Forbid exposure of private methods in the API (CVE-2018-10931)
  (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)
