cobbler: 2.4.0 from epel-testing
host : SL 6.43 64 bit
In http://cobbler.github.com/manuals/2.2.3/4/7_-_Package_Management_and_Mirr...
"Also apt" section, there is this example:
cobbler repo add --name=foo --mirror=http://url --breed=apt --arch=i386
So far, I have been using either ISO image import or apt-mirror to do direct Ubuntu mirror
as debmirror was not available for RHEL for quite some time. But now since debmirror is
on my cobbler server, so I decided to give cobbler's apt mirror a work-out:
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler repo add --name=ubtest --mirror=http://us.archive.ubuntu.com
--breed=apt --arch=x86_64
[root@cobbler ~]# cd /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror
[root@cobbler ks_mirror]# cobbler repo list
[...]
ubtest
[...]
[root@cobbler ks_mirror]# cobbler reposync

So, the character 'm' in the us.archive.ubuntu.com got chopped off before the
source hostname was fed to debmirror. Looks like there is an off-by-one error in
action_reposync.py?

OK. Upon reviewing the code once more, I could get around it for now:
[root@cobbler ks_mirror]# cobbler repo add --name=ubtest
--mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ --breed=apt --arch=x86_64
Then, I ran cobbler reposync as shown below. This time, as I
anticipated, the 'm' in .com is perserved. But then cobbler didn't
feed debmirror with enough defaults. So, IMHO there are still two
bugs:
0. Usability. Often times, people forget to end a URL with a slash,
so we need to accommodate this "habit".
1. Complete defaults should be provided to debmirror.

I think now I know how to use this feature. In this case, I recommend to update the
documentation so that the correct syntax is shown explicity.
