[Pulp-list] unable to use pulp centos repos for vm installation

[Bruno Savioli de Almeida]

HI Steven,

I actually asked on IRC today and got a reply.

It's seems to be a bug with anaconda on Centos 6.4, it doesn't like the
compressed groups.xml.

The guy who replied to my question created an issue on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950036
