[cobbler] Re: Complete path for a cobbler import of 7.4.1708 for x86_65.

Hey Chris,

I have a machine that does devops-by-rpm/makefile, but here's the meat
of it:

>   /usr/bin/cobbler repo add \
> --name centos7-os-x86_64 \
> --arch x86_64 \
> --mirror rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/7/os/x86_64 \
> --breed rsync

> --name centos7-x86_64 \

Make tosses a reposync+sync onto the ts in %post.

Mine looks like this when I'm done:

Yes, the reliability was a huge issue, and I don't sync continually.

Poke me privately if I can help any further.

[cobbler] Re: Complete path for a cobbler import of 7.4.1708 for x86_65.

[Locane]

If all you want to do is important CentOS 7.4 to cobbler, then all you need
to do is mount the DVD to a directory and cd to it, then:

cobbler import --name "centos_7.4" --path `pwd`

If I remember right, Cobbler import fails silently if you don't give it a
name and an import path.

If all you really want is a link, here's one from a mirror at UW:

http://centos.s.uw.edu/centos/7.4.1708/isos/x86_64/

I didn't see an "ISOs" directory at vault.centos.org under CentOS 7.4
either strangely - I don't know why they do that.  There was one for 7.3.
Maybe they expect if you want the latest version you'll download it from
the splash page. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

have a complete path specification?  And why isn't it the mirrors?

Thank you.
