True, doesnt work. Apparently to check availability of the mirror 'cobbler reposync' tries to fetch 'repodata/repomd.xml'. For a url you have in mind like https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch the possible values of $basearch you want to use would have to be guessed by reposync.. maybe the check could be disabled. When repos are not to be mirrored locally fetching 'repodata/repomd.xml' serves no further purpose than 'quick check' as i see it. Might be deeper magic there thou.
