Re: Why did cobbler name my distro/profile centos-5.2-centos-5.2-x86_64?

I imported CentOS like so:
cobbler import \
--mirror=rsync://rsync.arcticnetwork.ca/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/ \
--arch=x86_64 \
--name=centos-5.2
It fetched everything and put it in:
/local/data/cobbler/www/ks_mirror/centos-5.2-x86_64
Yet when it decided to name my distro and profile, it tacked on and
extra "centos-5.2":
Because the mirror had the structure "Centos/5.2" in it, it
automatically prefixed that content to the mirror name.
For instance, when rsyncing, you could have chosen to mirror /all/ of
Arctic Network (though they might love you for it).
cobbler import --name=prefix
--mirror=rsync://rsync.arcticnetwork.ca/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/
In that case, you might end up with distros named
"prefix-Centos-5.2-x86_64" and "prefix-CentOS-5.1-x86_64" and ....
Thankfully there is an easy command you can use:
cobbler distro rename --name=foo --newname=bar
Import is there to make your life easier, but isn't expected to exactly
know that the prefix you gave was the name of a particular distribution
and the URL you gave was specific to one distribution.
Of course if you are importing from a DVD source, we can (and do) know
exactly what to do. Rsync? You could be pulling in a lot of content, so
name is just a prefix.

---------------- (adding distros)
- creating new distro: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-x86_64
- creating new profile: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-x86_64
- creating new distro: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-xen-x86_64
- creating new profile: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-xen-x86_64

I prefer "centos-5.2-x86_64" and "centos-5.2-xen-x86_64". Why would
it
name it in this manner? Did I invoke the import incorrectly?
This is v2.8.0.
Wow, it's from the future! :)
Thanks,
Chris
