[cobbler] Using Cobbler to mirror Ubuntu repos

2 weeks ago I wrote to the list about creating custom Ubuntu repos, but noone answered. I would LOVE to give you feedback, however I am still stuck at the installation, where the Ubuntu installer at the very end is complaining about not finding the kernel to install. I was told it is most likely due to the version mismatch of the installer, and the provided kernel for install. I have not found a neat way to keep these 2 in sync, so I have not gotten to a point where I could test my locally hosted ubuntu repo that I wish to use with a cluster that has no internet access.


I create my repo with the command:


sudo cobbler repo add --name=local-14.04-x86_64 --breed=apt --arch=x86_64 --mirror=http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --apt-components="main main/debian-installer restricted restricted/debian-installer universe universe/debian-installer multiverse multiverse/debian-installer" --apt-dists="trusty trusty-updates trusty-security" --yumopts="--verbose --ignore-release-gpg"


but as I said, I could not test it yet.


Let me know how you get along!

Before I abandon using cobbler entirely to manage Ubuntu installs, I'd
LOVE to hear from anyone out there who is using Cobbler to manage/mirror
Ubuntu (or debian) repos.
I'm finding it devilishly hard to get the repos configured and sync'd in
a way that I can properly use them for my local machines to pull
updates.   If anyone has had any success and wants to share some
insights, please let me know.

thanks
