Complete path for a cobbler import of 7.4.1708 for x86_65.

[Chris Johnson]

Trying to find the complete path for cobbler import of an rsync, or 
whatever works, for CentOS 7.4 of the x86_64 architecture.  All the 
mirrors I've tried simply don't have one.  There is no x86_64 subtree.  
Does anyone have a complete path specification?  And why isn't it the 
mirrors?

Thank you.

If all you want to do is important CentOS 7.4 to cobbler, then all you need
to do is mount the DVD to a directory and cd to it, then:

cobbler import --name "centos_7.4" --path `pwd`

If I remember right, Cobbler import fails silently if you don't give it a
name and an import path.

If all you really want is a link, here's one from a mirror at UW:

http://centos.s.uw.edu/centos/7.4.1708/isos/x86_64/

I didn't see an "ISOs" directory at vault.centos.org under CentOS 7.4
either strangely - I don't know why they do that.  There was one for 7.3.
Maybe they expect if you want the latest version you'll download it from
the splash page. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey Chris,

I have a machine that does devops-by-rpm/makefile, but here's the meat
of it:

Make tosses a reposync+sync onto the ts in %post.

Mine looks like this when I'm done:

Yes, the reliability was a huge issue, and I don't sync continually.

Poke me privately if I can help any further.
