i use cobbler to configure my repo's with cobbler repo add etc and this
works fine. Can anyone give me any pointers to the process of adding a
new rpm to a repo and syncing it so its available using yum, all through
the use of cobbler?
thanks

If you want to maintain your own repo with rpms, all you have to do is ...
mkdir /opt/foo
cp <lots of rpms> /opt/foo
cobbler repo add --name=foo-name --mirror=/opt/foo
(this actually uses rsync, so if you have another box in your org, with
a directory full of RPMs, you can pass in --mirror=user@server:/opt/foo)
And it will take care of calling createrepo and making sure the repo
config files are all created correctly.
I'd recommend doing that rather than trying to add an RPM to an existing
mirrored repo, as that will make it clearer what comes from where and
you can enable/disable individual repos as needed.

thanks - i will bear this in mind - for this scenario i just added that
rpm to a current repo - ram createrepo on it and then cobbler reposync
and thats now available in the repo cobbler is aware of. I will add and
remove rpm's from existing repo's quite a lot so creating a repo each
time would be a bit of a pain to manage.
thanks

Right, use the above trick and it will be dealt with automatically, if
you add it to an existing one, reposync will undo your changes each time
you update.
thanks

hmmm i did
cp rpm to /repo/foo/1 (/repo/foo/1 was the resultant dir of a cobbler
repo add)
createrepo /repo/foo/1
cobbler reposync
the result of this was that the rpm was now present and available to
install using yum from /repo/foo/1
so it seems to work -

If the cobbler repo directory is already mirrored you do not need to run
createrepo again.
cobbler reposync will do that for you.

something is not right there - just fails silently ?

What did you think failed?
No copy occurs until you run "cobbler reposync"
