[Spacewalk-list] kickstart tree after repo sync using

Wed Oct 8 13:56:05 UTC 2014

Hello Friends,

Thanks for all answers.

I understood the necessity to create manually the structure to implement
kickstart, btw according the command spacewalk-repo-sync, in manual page we
can see

--sync-kickstart
              Attempt  to  create  kickstartable tree (distribution) if
there is subdirectory
              images/pxeboot/ under repoâs URL.

So I was looking for in backend python scripts and IMHO, I believe the
command should create a directory
/var/satellite/rhn/kickstart/<org_id>/<label>

So what I did was

1. Create a simple structure like a dvd, with 5 packages only, recreated
the repodata and move the directory images (to test the script)

####
[root at spacewalk reposync]# spacewalk-repo-sync -c base01  --url=
http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x --sync-kickstart
#### Channel label: base01 ####
Repo URL: http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x
Packages in repo:                 5
No new packages to sync.
Repo http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x has 0 errata.
ERROR: kickstartable tree not detected (no
http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x/images/pxeboot/)
Sync completed.
Total time: 0:00:00
####

Ok, was not found the directory images/pxeboot

after, I rollback the directory and run the command again

####
[root at spacewalk reposync]# spacewalk-repo-sync -c base01  --url=
http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x --sync-kickstart
#### Channel label: base01 ####
Repo URL: http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x
Packages in repo:                 5
No new packages to sync.
Repo http://192.168.0.177/repo/6.x has 0 errata.
ERROR: null value in column "label" violates not-null constraint

Sync completed.
Total time: 0:00:00
####

Ok, about the error "ERROR: null value in column "label" violates not-null
constraint" I found a BZ and patch

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1070866
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=868600&action=diff

According the BZ/Patch, the command cannot be executed by cli, so I just
created via webUi, works fine "according logs in reposync", but was not
generated/created a new dir in kickstart directory.

To conclude, in SW environment, the command spacewalk-repo-sync, when
configured by webUi should or not create any kickstart directory (tree) if
in the source there is the directory images/pxeboot ?!

Sorry for a long email, but this is a simple question that I really
appreciate the "gurus" comments.
