[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler reposync with different arch

[Adam Goodall]

All

 

I'm having trouble getting cobbler to sync packages for an arch that is
different to the cobbler servers own. I have cobbler running on an i386
box and for one of the repos I'm mirroring I want to pull down x86_64.
However when the repository syncs down it will only pull the noarch
RPM's and completely ignores the x86_64 ones. I have the correct arch
set for the repo as is shown in the output of cobbler repo report:

 

repo             : dag-EL4-x86_64

mirror           : http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/rpmforge/

keep updated     : True

priority         : 99

rpm list         : ['nagios-plugins', 'nagios-nrpe', 'zonecheck']

createrepo_flags : -c cache

arch             : x86_64

yum options      : {}

 

 

In this example the zonecheck rpm (which is noarch) is pulled but the
two nagios rpm's are ignored.:

 

# cobbler reposync --only=dag-EL4-x86_64

- creating: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/dag-EL4-x86_64.repo

- /usr/bin/yumdownloader --resolve  -c
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/dag-EL4-x86_64.repo
--destdir=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/dag-EL4-x86_64 nagios-plugins
nagios-nrpe zonecheck

No Match for argument nagios-plugins

No Match for argument nagios-nrpe

/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/dag-EL4-x86_64/zonecheck-2.0.4-1.2.el4.rf.n
oarch.rpm already exists and appears to be complete

- createrepo -c cache /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/dag-EL4-x86_64

1/1 - zonecheck-2.0.4-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

Saving Primary metadata

Saving file lists metadata

Saving other metadata

-          creating:
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/dag-EL4-x86_64/config.repo

 

 

Does anyone have any ideas where im going wrong or what I need to do to
make it work? If it helps I'm running on RHEL5 with the following
versions:

# rpm -qa| egrep -i "cobbler|yum"

yum-utils-1.0.4-3.el5

yum-updatesd-3.0.1-5.el5

yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.2-5.el5_1.2

yum-3.0.1-5.el5

yum-security-1.0.4-3.el5

cobbler-0.8.2-1.el5

yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6

 

Thanks
