I'm trying to do a cobbler import of a directory structure that only has
noarch packages in it. I'm using the import to create a minimal pxe boot
environment without needing to mirror all of the packages (we just use
external repos for the packages)
However, when I try to do a cobbler import of a directory structure that
only contains noarch packages I get the following error:
+ cobbler import --name=Fedora-10 --arch=x86_64
--path=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-x86_64
sending incremental file list
sent 392 bytes received 16 bytes 816.00 bytes/sec
total size is 134808812 speedup is 330413.75
Given arch (x86_64) not found on imported tree
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-x86_64/Packages
- rsync -a '/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-x86_64/'
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-x86_64 --exclude-from=/etc/cobbler/rsync.exclude
--progress
---------------- (adding distros)
- found content (breed=redhat) at
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-x86_64/images/pxeboot
I know in the past we were able to import a directory structure with only
noarch packages and still specify an arch (x86_64 or i386) and it didn't
fail like above. Is this a recent change or restriction? Should we just
add a single arch specific package to the directory structure to get
around this?
Thanks,
Perry
