Hi,

you are misunderstanding the fole of the function.

list_distro_pools() returns a hash with primary key being all distributions
that are configured to be supported in /tftpboot/distro.

That means:
If a user wants to support centos-5-x86_64 (master+clients) and
centos-5-i386 (some clients), he should first make sure that yume has access
to the corresponding distribution packages by:

- copying all distro packages for centos-5-x86_64 to
/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64/

- copying all distro packages for centos-5-i386 to
/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386/

- creating /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386.url with the content:
file:/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386

- creating /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url with the content:
file:/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64

- alternatively: instead of copying in the distro packages one can add to
the .url files the URLs to base and updates repositories prefered.

The approach with local distro files is allways working, and the repository is
visible from clients in a non-routed cluster, too. The other approach only works
if we configure a proxy on the master and point all clients to it, or if the
clients have direct access to the outer world.


This means: a distro which a master can support must have a configured
distro repository.


Regards,
Erich
