Please point me in the right direction if that's the case.
I've rebuild the source RPM for 0.3.9-1 on a Centos 4.4 server and
I'm trying to import Fedora Core 6 from a mirror using rsync:
cobbler import
--mirror=rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
--name=fedoracore6
Once the rsync is complete (fairly quick, as I populated most of it from
RPMs I'd already downloaded), I get the following messages:
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/images
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/images/xen
(distro added)
(profile added)
- looking for comps in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6
Error: groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml cannot be
found.
Followed by a usage message from createrepo.
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml is present
however, and readable.
It looks possible to me that cobbler is running
createrepo --groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6
but then createrepo is prepending the path to fedoracore6 and
trying to open
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6//var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/repodata/comps.xml
Any ideas on how to get this working? I'm using createrepo-0.4.3-1
if that makes a difference.

I've noticed this recently as well... I'm wondering if createrepo
might have changed somewhat.
I'll look into this and get back to you.

Apologies on being lazy here, though per the manpage...
mirror
The addresss of the mirror. This needs to be either an rsync:// url
or an ssh location usable with rsync.
The mirror address should specify an exact repository to mirror --
just one architecture
and just one distribution. If you have a seperate repo to mirror
for a different arch, add that
repo seperately.
Here's an example of what looks like a good URL:
rsync://yourmirror.example.com/fedora-linux-core/6/i386 (for rsync
protocol)
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/fedora-linux-core/6/i386 (for SSH)
What I thought was a related problem is just something I'm seeing during
the unit tests, so that was a bit of wild goose chase.
Your problem is that you didn't rsync enough data, and don't have the
comps file. Do an import using the URL format specified in the
manpage and you should be good to go. I would suggest cleaning up
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror manually before doing that, just to free up
the extra space on your drives.
Hope this helps, if not, let me know...
