Hello All, I just ran into this today. I was creating a repo for internal use of rpms that I have had to download from non-yum sources.
All of this is done via the web ui with cobbler. Create a new repo. Set the arch to i386, noarch or x86_64. Set it to use rsync. Don't set the Keep Update flag. Leave the mirror field empty. Give it a name like "disk-hog" Sync it from the repo web page. It will fail and send you to the Profiles page(this is also a bug). Go to the repos page again and the Mirror field is set to "/". Run createrepo from the command line "createrepo disk-hog". It should start "rsyncing" the local drive to your repo tree. I stopped mine as I knew there were only 2 rpms in the tree. Listing that repo tree showed that the process had begun to rsync my entire drive, starting at /. I am glad I had not setup the "createrepo" cron yet!!!!! When creating this, I just realized that my versions are matching. I still want to post this to the list for information for others to find and test. #rpm -q cobbler cobbler-2.0.5-1.el5 # rpm -q cobbler-web cobbler-web-2.0.9-1.el5 Have a great day!
