Just curious...
For those working on Debian and SuSE things, including packaging, I
haven't heard from you in a while.
What's new?
Are we mostly good to go WRT SuSE imports (not sure that's on the Wiki
yet)? What about getting the RPM included somewhere? (Is that ready?)
I am wondering too what the details are WRT repo management -- is yum
sufficient?
For both distros, getting the interaction between the repo objects and
the profile objects like we have for Red Hat based distros would be nice
to have -- that's a useful abstraction -- making sure
the right profiles get the right repos and those associations can be
managed without editing the preseed/autoyast templates.
Has any testing been done with koan (virt and --replace-self) on either
platforms?

I wasn't really sure how to use the "create repo" function in action-
import since I don't know how to manually create a yum repo.
Furthermore I think it was redhat specific anyways. I would like to
leave this feature out till I can get some free time again. Is the
suse code added to the dev branch yet or are you waiting on me for
something?

To create a yum repo, you call createrepo, which is part of the
yum-utils package, on a directory containing RPM packages.
As I understand it SuSE supports yum, smart, and a host of other
download tools, but still uses yum metadata. If we want to make the
install tree
available for later package installations it makes sense to call it on
the proper location to make those packages available -- if the yum
metadata isn't
already in the tree. I haven't looked to verify.

If you mean the import patch, it's not added, primarily due to the
calling out to sles9import as a seperate script and such, which we
didn't want at the time.
There has been support for SuSE in terms of "cobbler distro add" for a
while.

I did modified the DebianDeployment wiki page. The alternate one is
still there, because of the notes, until I'm able to perform a couple
of checks.
I've also done a missing patch, to detect debmirror binary and
configuration when running cobbler check. It is on
git://github.com/javiplx/cobbler-devel.git

I've installed cobbler on a centos system in order to test, but I've
had no success. I'm afraid that it might be because I'm trying to
install debian on a centos host, so I'm planning to setup cobbler on a
debian host in order to check (no schedule yet).
