My initial build of a Cobbler server was back when Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 was the latest. Since then, I had noticed that newly provisioned servers needed hundreds of updates at the first "yum update", so I tried to update my Cobbler repos.
I imported the 5.8 install iso's and made two base 5.8 profiles (server and workstation), updated all my system and profile definitions and then tried to delete the rhel-5.7 distros/profiles/whatever That's when I started getting task failures and reports of missing packages and such. I am of the opinion that I may have to completely delete my local repo mirrors and rebuild them all from scratch to recover from this. Does anyone see anything horribly wrong with what I did ? Is there a better way to do this ? Should I have created a rhel5 mirror instead of a rhel5.7 mirror ?
