Thanks for the help Adam.

Yes, again, thank you very much!


A few quick comments:
-- you don't actually have to call createrepo yourself, cobbler will do it for you.

OK, that is good to know.


-- we don't currently have the ability to assign a list of repos to a distro, only a profile, however that might be a good idea for a future addition.

-- there's a quick writeup on some of the repo management stuff here: http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/cobbler-repos.php

Thanks, I did read through that page (honest!) My new question is, is there any way around keeping two copies of each RPM? For example, I created my repo "base" in /var/repo/tsm-client/base, and then ran "cobbler repo add ..." and "cobbler reposync", which all worked perfectly.

Now, I have ...

# find /var -name TIVsm-API64.i386.rpm
/var/repo/tsm-client/base/TIVsm-API64.i386.rpm
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/tsm-client/base/TIVsm-API64.i386.rpm

... two copies of each of the RPMs. I'd love to be able to delete the /var/repo/tsm-client directory, and if I have newer or changed RPMs to go in that repository, to be able to just drop them into /var/ www/cobbler/repo_mirror/tsm-client/base/ and then run something like "cobbler reposync" to have it automagically find the new files and do the right thing.

Any chance that this is actually possible? Thanks, again ... I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to get this far!
