Hey all I am interested in getting debian working on cobbler. I am happy
to test and answer any questions that I can. I just moved from a CentOS
house to a Debian house and REALLY miss my cobbler setup.
What I have done so far.
I have a debian host running cobbler 2.1.0 from the debian repo. I went
into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler and copied all the .py
to .py.orig. Then I uncommented all of the debian specific stuff in
actions-import and codes. Then I pycompile and rerun my import. Now when
I run an import command I get the following output.
root@pxetest:~# cobbler import --path=/mnt/debtest --name=debtest
--breed=debian --arch=x86_64
task started: 2011-08-23_151323_import
task started (id=Media import, time=Tue Aug 23 15:13:23 2011)
Found a debian/ubuntu compatible signature: pool

--exclude-from=/etc/cobbler/rsync.exclude --quiet
received on stdout:

This tells me at least that I have uncommented the stuff correctly as it
recognizes a pool sig. However, I am not seeing any distros repos or
profiles created in cobbler. Cobbler list shows nothing. I am pretty
sure there must be something I am missing somewhere. I can't seem to
find it.

Something's wrong here, you shouldn't have to uncomment anything, as
we moved imports to a module structure and added full support for
debian/ubuntu distros (newer ones, at least) in 2.1.0. I'd recommend
grabbing the latest from git and trying that out, making sure to
uninstall what you've got on that machine so there are no conflicts.
7:24 p.m.
Perhaps I am reading the code wrong. Looks like the debian/ubuntu stuff
was commented out for the 2.1.0 release. I don't see a place in the code
to handle breed=debian that is not commented out.
Thanks,
Duffie Cooley

Merged work in the import-modules branch with the debian/ubuntu
modules created by Chuck Short
This should be in 2.1, can you check to make sure you have a file
named cobbler/modules/manage_import_debian_ubuntu.py? That is where
the code is.

I do have it and it appears to be called. However, still no profiles
distros or repos are added. Here is a link to the file I have.

Okay I see the code there. I downloaded the following dvd and mounted
it.
wget debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-DVD-1.iso
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-6.0.2.1-am...
mount -o loop debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt/debtest
cobbler import --breed=debian --path=/mnt/debtest --name debtest
--arch=x86_64
and I get exactly zilcho. I see the rsync happen and verify that it's
there in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror but I don't see anything from
profiles distros or repos. Also I uncommented the debug in the
manage_import_debian_ubuntu module and I am not seeing anything from
that in the logs as well.. Can you help?

Leaving aside where did you obtain your cobbler package, cobbler is probably
able to import only the mini.iso. Although it can "import" standard media and
even at some point it found the initrd/vmlinux, the ones packaged even in the
netinstall media are not network enabled ones (at least around 2009), so you
still need things from mini.iso.
If you import a standar media, you get copied only the memtest things into the
tftp tree, and all the contents under www/ks_mirror, but no distro or
profile. Actually
if you install the cobbler-ubuntu package and look at the cobbler-ubuntu-import
program, you will see that it downloads and imports the mini.iso images.
Maybe looking at the old debian deployment pages of the wiki could give you
some light. Although the code snippets will probably not work now, the warning
and comments about debian specific stuff are probably still valid.

2.1.0 is not a releaswe (yet)
You are talking about older code (2,0), i know because i once did the
same as you ;-)

Looking at the current git, I see both the manage_import_*py and the
action_import.py.
Probably, Duffie did uncomment things on action_import, which is
actually never used.
Is probably a good idea to move the action_import (and probably
others) to the obsolete
directory, to avoid this kind of confussions.

Yeah, it had been left in during the transition, but since the module
stuff appears to be going so well I think we can remove it now. I'll
take care of that.

Duffie, you may just want to try backporting the current cobbler package
from Ubuntu, as it should build on Debian with minimal or no modification.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler
I'd be interested to hear how this goes, as we'd like for all of the
stuff we've been doing with Cobbler in Ubuntu to end up a) upstream in
Cobbler, and b) in Debian.
