Hi,
I've setup Spacewalk 0.5 on CentOS 5.3. After having run into several
bugs and reading the mailinglist, I've stalled on solving the following:
- After a client has updated it's packages, it still reports that it
requires updates.
I read that this would be solved in a future update to spacewalk-backend
and spacewalk-java. I have however found no later package than that of
the 13th of april.
- cobbler+kickstart don't work when installing from bare metal. I've
setup a channel, a distro using that channel and a kickstart file using
both. To create the channel I downloaded all the packages from the
centos base repository. Because this doesn't include the pxe vmlinuz and
initrd.img files, I copied them from CD and pointed spacewalk to those
files (when creating the distro? I can't remember).
Anyhow, after the installer boots and anaconda starts, I get the
following error
"Unable to read metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata
directory................. can't find repository: anaconda-......."
So I'm missing the repodata directory. That's right, I just downloaded
the packages. So I createrepo-ed the directory containing the RPMs, but
to no avail.
Any idea what's going wrong here?
