Hi
I'm currently testing cobbler and so far it has done everything ive asked of it flawlessly. There is however one function I need some help with. Im trying to get it to pull down multiple rhn channels so that I can deploy/patch both rhel4 and rhel5 from the cobbler server. The box itself is RHEL 5 so it has no problem mirroring rhn://rhel-i386-server-5 I would also however like to mirror rhn://rhel-i386-es-4 , Whenever I try and run a reposync with this repo added, I of course get told that the system isn't entitled to download the rhel4 content. Using mrepo's tools and the instructions at: http://www.labmonkeys.org/systems_management:patch_management:installing _mrepo_on_rhel5 I have managed to get a separate systemid for the box which is allowed to pull down rhel4 content, and I can successfully create a local mirror of rhel-i386-es-4 in that fashion. I would however like to add this into my cobbler setup with the minimum of fuss. I could of course tell cobbler to create a repo from the local files but that means keeping 2 copies of the rpm's. Or I could just add the repository manually in the post of all my kickstart files. But both of these methods involve a bit more management as I still need to make sure that the rhel4 mirror is correctly synching - would be nice it it "just worked" Does anyone know of a way to get cobbler to pull down content from the rhel4 channel using the alternative systemid? Or of any other ingenious methods to achieve what I want? Thanks Adam ______________________________________________________________________ You might be interested in this...
