Hello all,

is syncing a CentOS 8 kickstart tree (or syncing kickstart trees in general) supported on SUSE Leap 15.2 with Uyuni master? I could not find the reference to the kickstart sync function in the documentation.

Running reposync on http://msync.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ gives me this error:

Checking the variables path and temp_file variables give me this (just before calling urlgrabber.urlgrab): path=treeinfo temp_file=/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/centos8-baseos-x86_64/treeinfo..download

What is path supposed to be?

Thank you and best wishes,

Hi we rarely use it, but I think it should work. So feel free to look deeper into it. Am Samstag, 16. Januar 2021, 12:24:11 CET schrieb Stefan Bluhm:

Hello Michael,

correct. The code is checking for both (first) treeinfo and .treeinfo.

My question is more along the lines if the kickstart sync is actually intended to be supported in Uyuni. Then I would dig deeper on the issue.

The way the error message and the variable "path" looks to me below is, that urlgrabber is trying to download the treeinfo file locally from /root/treeinfo. Not sure where treeinfo (or .treeinfo) really should come from (local HDD or repo URL). After repo sync, there is no .treeinfo or treeinfo anywhere on my server (I guess only rpms are downloaded).

Best wishes,

Stefan

Probably a question to all users:

Is anyone using the sync kickstart function (or has used it)?

Feedback would be nice.

Which function was that ? Can you describe it a little bit ,as I'm not very deep into terminology. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

You can find it here:

Software --> Manage --> Channels --> <Channel Name> --> Repositories --> Sync --> Tick "Create kickstartable tree"

Now click on Sync and it should download a bootable folder structure. You should then be able to use that (my expectation) under

Systems --> Autoinstallation --> Distributions to then create profiles and kickstart the OS.

Best wishes,

Stefan Ah... OK. I do use that.
