Environment:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
# rpm -qv cobbler
cobbler-2.2.2-1.el6.noarch
I'm trying to set up a few rsync repositories to mirror. As far as I
can see, cobbler always uses
rsync -rltDv --delete --exclude-from=/etc/cobbler/rsync.exclude <URL>
<localdir>
to fetch stuff from the RPM repositories. It causes some problem with
the following repository:
rsync://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ServicePackforProLiant/rhel/...
Unfortunately HP decided that it is a good idea to put symlinks into
this directory and according to rsync's "-l" option, cobbler won't
follow these links, it just copies the links themselves. This results
in some links that don't point to existing files :/
Questions:
- Is it possible to pass per-repository options to rsync within cobbler?
- Any other suggestion on how to handle this specific repository?
Thanks,
