Re: questions regarding cobbler import and automated repos
Joshua Baldock wrote:
When adding my RHEL5 ISO to the cobbler server I used the "cobbler
import" to import the DVD and configure all the default profiles. As
part of this, some repos were created core-0 to core-7. Core-0 to
Core-3 are created for each of the different RPM dirs on the DVD, eg
VT, ClusterStorage, etc. Looking at Core-4 to Core-7 they seem to be a
duplicate of Core-0 to Core-3.
Would just like to know if there is more of a difference between these
auto created repos, or it only core-0 to core-3 are needed? Also is
there a way of setting the name of these repos at the time of
importing the DVD? I know I can chank the info in the .repo files
later to change the name.
Only 0-3 is needed, this sounds like a bug. The importer for
1.3.X/1.4 has been changed around a good bit, so if you still see these
duplicates with that version, we should fix it. If it only happens in
1.2.X, no worries, they'll be a new release out soon. As with any of
the last several stable releases, we /do/ fix bugs on them before the
next major release, so there can be a 1.4.1, 1.4.2, etc, until we get
ready to do the next release afterwards.
The import code does not assign names either, but it could be modified.
Basically this is to account for the "split tree" phenomenon introduced
in RHEL 5, where the "VT" repo is seperate from the "ClusterStorage"
tree and so forth -- usage of repo directives in Anaconda's kickstart is
neccessary to install any of the extra content.
Cheers.
