how about the --install-tree copies symlinks?
yeah.. that is strange
those better not be from the yum-cache, right?
the cobbler import_tree also copies the symlinks
this is all when using file:// for a repo
i'm not sure what happens when we use something else
ohw it says in the ticket description that it moves symlinks
well the end result is there are symlinks and not files
in /srv/revisor, right?
in some cases that would be neat.. or hardlinks
yes
and is /var/www/cobbler
where do these symlinks go to?
as with the cobbler_import()
the source listed in the repo
with file:// urls?
yes
great, +1, keep it that way
euh, that just my vote ;-)
yeah, i have no idea what to do about it
neither do i
but it is a doc item
for now, it's not a big deal
and thus i still released
because symlinks to updates/.rpm and rsync --delete....
gives you dead symlinks
correct
so importing into the cobbler tree.. might
need* to be a full cp
right, i'll add it to the ticket
as with the --install-tree also

Let's create a doc on setting up repositories telling people that do not want this behaviour because they are like syncing with a remote repo beyond their control, to use http://localhost/path instead
