Yes, I see it now after checking the log. Perhaps it was echoed to the
screen at the time of import ansd I missed it. The error message is:
"An exception occured while running the import manager
Error was: '--os-version for breed redhat must be one of rhel3, rhel4,
rhel5, rhel6, fedora14, fedora15, fedora16, fedora17...'
no import managers found a valid signature at the location specified"
So it is rejecting Fedora 12 in any flavor? Is that it? Is there a
workaround for this, since I do need Fedora 12 PPC (or ppc64, if it can go
on an old MacBook)?
You can force it by setting --os-version=generic26, or you can
hand-edit codes.py to add fedora12 to the list (and then use that for
--os-version). I wouldn't recommend the later, though I'm not sure why
fedora12 was removed - it'd only be about 4 years old and we still
have rhel3 in there.
