I'm guessing "Not necessary" doesn't mean that it fails if you add it?
I have created the repo with the '-s sha' param as such:
$ createrepo -s sha -o . -g repodata/Fedora-10-comps.xml .
and the install (still) works. So i think adding the extra parameter when creating the repository by default is fine. Maybe it's an idea to set the extra parameter as default but providing a way to override it on the commandline?
If so, that's an easy fix, which is good for us!
If you haven't already opened a Trac item on this at fedorahosted.org/cobbler, please do, so we can make sure to get this in for the next release, which is /probably/ 2.0, but given this may be annoying to some folks, it may warrant just one more 1.6.X in the next few weeks.
I just checked and user 'fail' opened ticket #464 which describes exactly what the problem is, with ticket #463 providing a workaround. I've added my test results to the ticket.
