rhn reposync failing
 

I had a rhn reposync working with 0.8, but im now trying to set up
cobbler 1.0.1-2 on a new server. As far as i can see the configuration
is the same but when ever i run cobbler reposync i get



# cobbler reposync

- creating:
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/rhel-x86_64-server-5.repo

- createrepo -c cache /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-x86_64-server-5



Saving Primary metadata

Saving file lists metadata

Saving other metadata

- creating:
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-x86_64-server-5/config.repo



In /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log all it says is

2008-06-10 11:42:38,268 - api - reposync; [None]



I noticed it is not setting up the yum plugins, i have found that in
earlier versions of /usr/bin/reposync the loading of plugins was hard
coded on, but in the latest redhat version (yum-utils-1.1.10-9) it is a
command line option (-l)



I have found a work around, edit /var/lib/cobbler/repos and add -l to
the end of the arch: line



arch:* x86_64* -l



This then gets appended to the end of the command args that are passed
to reposync by cobbler.

Yes, apparently yum-utils changed. As we pretty much need the new
version for this functionality, I'll add this.


Thanks!
