Basically this is just housekeeping but it makesthe repo management features much more reliable.i did this on my setup sometime back.. cobbler is 0.4.7 on a centos 4.4 i386 box and delme is a mounted centos5 dvd iso. Also a RPM upgrade ought to '/etc/init.d/cobbler_syslogd stop' and it no longer is supposed to exist post upgrade.Probably. Preun could no doubt check for existance of cobbler_syslogd prior to stopping it. I didn't want to have that live in the spec file forever, but that might be the correct thing to do.
unnecessary baggage in the spec file.. ;-) makes sense to not include it in the long run..
Yup, this option has apparently been removed, I assume this applies to FC7 as well. It's available in FC6 and IIRC, RHEL 5. I'll see what happens without it and make changes accordingly.cobbler import --mirror=delme --name=centos5_x86_64While the rest worked as expected, i thought this ought minor warning be brought to your attention..- createrepo --basedir / --groupfile /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos5_x86_64/repodata/comps.xml /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos5_x86_64Options Error: option --basedir not recognized. createrepo [options] directory-of-packages Options: -u, --baseurl = optional base url location for all files-x, --exclude = files globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times-q, --quiet = run quietly-g, --groupfile <filename> to point to for group information (precreated)-v, --verbose = run verbosely-c, --cachedir <dir> = specify which dir to use for the checksum cache-h, --help = show this help -V, --version = output version -p, --pretty = output xml files in pretty format.
I am already falling short of space on the current server and am going to upgrade to better hardware mostly running centos5. Will keep you posted if anything troublesome crops up.. meanwhile, thanks for your efforts.
On a side note, i recently started using the cheetah template feature and it already looks quite impressive though i still have 8 different kickstart files.. that i need to roll into one.
