How far back does %traceback go?

(EL 2/3/4?)
It was added in April of 2003, so Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 should have
it I believe

I don't see it in the last Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 anaconda
(anaconda-9.1-8.RHEL.i386.rpm). RHEL 3 was based on Red Hat Linux 8 which was
released September of 2002 so I don't think %traceback was ever added to the
RHEL 3 code base. And considering Red Hat Linux 9 was released in March of 2003,
I'd say you need Fedora or RHEL 4 to use %traceback.

I'm really not sure I can use it anyway.

Reason I was asking -- James Laska and Bill Peck added some nice Anaconda monitoring code from a previous provisioning system to Cobbler, so we do now have a way for folks to do a whole bunch of logging of various Anaconda things remotely if they want. I'm not sure if this ultimately proves useful in extending that or not, but I figured I would ask.

(Look at the devel branch in git, not the stuff in Fedora/EPEL)

I also want to do a better remote status implementation, so I can say "show me all my systems that are installing in my lab/datacenter and what's up with them". Right now we have that, but it's based on their start time and whether they've finished. Spacewalk has another implementation that provides more granularity, I used to have a mod_python filter handler one (before various API things broke it, and it was unreliable anyway), but maybe I'll rewrite it someday.

Anyhow, I think tracebacks would be nice, but then again a failure in post doesn't trigger a traceback, so it's not that common either.

Still, good to know.
