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...
This time I did:
cobbler import
--mirror=rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386
--name=fedoracore6
which i think is as close to the example given as I can get. I still
get the same error (though obviously it's looking for the comps.xml file
in a slightly different location this time):
Error: groupfile
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedoracore6/i386/os/repodata/comps.xml cannot
be found.

You probably noticed this already, but the manpage section I copied
was for repo management, not the import command. With the import
command, you can pretty much point it across a rsync mirror that holds
40 distros and it's expected to import them all.
I'm still retrying the exact command you gave for the import (using
mirrorservice) to see what createrepo reports. So far I'm ok with
internal mirrors and ibiblio, and the tree structure looks right.
Should know shortly.

Ok, since I wanted to be through, I ran the exact same command you ran,
against the same mirror URL...
[root@mdehaan cobbler]# cobbler import
--mirror=rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386
--name=test
Here's the output I recieved on FC6 (note, I did tweak cobbler to print
out the rsync command being run...other than that, the mirror import
code is unchanged)

[mdehaan@mdehaan bar]$ createrepo -V
0.4.3
Is there a chance you have a different version of createrepo installed
that when run with the arguments listed above, produces an error? I'm
willing to make tweaks to the code to get the arguments correct for
Centos 4.X builds, if you could point me to what those correct arguments
need to be. Doesn't seem like it could be too different.
If you can run the createrepo command manually with the above URL, I'd
be interested to know the output (that, and to get the version number)...
Thanks,
