Hey all,

I'm new to this list, and to cobbler. 

I'm able to run a successful cobbler import against a local distro (basically I mounted the first DVD iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/ ) using the following command:

cobbler import --name=wheezy --breed=debian --os-version=wheezy --path=/mnt/cdrom

That command imports wheezy-x86_64, wheezy-gtk-x86_64, wheezy-xen-x86_64

This is all fine, but that's not really what I want to do.

I want to be able to import from a remote path. I've found lots of sites recommending the parameters, and none of them work. Here's my current command line:

cobbler import --name=wheezy --breed=debian  --arch=x86_64 --os-version=wheezy --path="rsync://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/"

The result is:

task started: 2013-10-02_124212_import

task started (id=Media import, time=Wed Oct  2 12:42:12 2013)

No signature matched in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/wheezy-x86_64

!!! TASK FAILED !!!

What's weird was that a couple of days ago, that same (I think) command line WAS importing, but it was a whole ton of stuff I didn't want, eg.:  

wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-gtk-x86_64
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-x86_64
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b2-cdrom-xen-x86_64
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-gtk-x86_64
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-x86_64
wheezy-dists-squeeze-mainer-20110106+squeeze4+b3-cdrom-xen-x86_64

for every architecture and every release and every distribution (like 

Now it just doesn't work at all, just errors out with the "TASK FAILED" error. I tried blowing away  /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/wheezy-x86_64

Am I using the wrong method, or rsync path, or something else? I tried checking the maillist archives but didn't find anything.

Thanks

Drew
