Hi,
Some time ago I encountered some problems with the --rpm-list option for the cobbler repo command. As I understood, the --rpm-list option do not work with foreign architectures, e.g. if cobbler server is i386 one cannot make a repo for x86_64. https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/cobbler/2009-June/004566.html
The related ticket was closed without a explanation why: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/153
I stumbled over this issue again and it seems to me its even worse. The repo for the same arch does not work too.
repo with same arch as cobbler server and rpm-list specified: reposync works but yum complains:
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from reponame: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
I also tried with --mirror-locally turned off, no difference. What are the use cases for the --rpm-list feature then ? Anyone using this ? As far as I can see it only produces a partial mirror that is not usable by yum after mirroring, and thats the best case. In the worse case it is not even capable to create the mirror.
