Which happens on the two pages Packages and Files.
A link to these pages would be nice.
All I can find about packages is this:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Package%20Management%20and%20Mirr...
and that is more about yum mirroring
BTW, here's how I am looking:

Which happens under the Resouces expansion when editing a management class
Again, a link, please ?

So I believe that is most specifically if you intent is to use Cobbler
as the CMS. If you are just using cobbler as an external node for
puppet (or whichever CM you are working with) then this page is not
relevant.

So the Leveraging Mod Python definitely needs to be updated. I'm not
sure how this is handled with wsgi. The template files is referring
to the same files in Resources (I believe). You have to place your
template file on the file system and configure it in the Resources ->
Files section.

The documentation is very much a how you use it, not here is how you
do X, Y, or Z with it. With that in mind, what are you trying to
accomplish?
Definitely a chicken-and-egg dilemma.
Unless I know what the feature is capable of, I have no expectations.
I am trying to understand what it can do so that I can figure out how I might utilize it.
