Thanks, I wasn't aware of replicate (it's not mentioned in Cobbler's top-level help). The documentation at:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/ReplicateMaster
is sparse, not enough examples of exactly how to use it. Apparently there used to be a parameter "--full-data-sync" - that's what I want to do. Would this be the equivalent (since I have no systems or images)?:
cobbler replicate --master=$MASTER_SERVER_IP --distros=* --profiles=* --repos=*
When looking into it, I ran across:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/MovingYourInstallToAnotherBox
which has an unhelpful statement, "use the right flags". Again, examples would help.
Yeah, I probably need to do a better job of documentation.
I also ran across this bug, over a year old - it would seem to imply that it won't be worth replicating because I won't have access to distros - is this bug bogus, or there's a workaround, or what?:
Nope, this is fixed.
