factory just hangs

it will make more sense if you check the log.. The URL in the first build was diff than the second.  It may or may not have caused the issue
Comment 1 wes hayutin 2012-02-03 02:09:42 UTC 
So.. I dont think you can build RHEL5.7 w/ a repo<url> it will always fail either during install or customization


I think this url is invalid.. will fail at install
404.. cant find boot iso..
   <url>http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/released/RHEL-5-Server/U7/x86_64/os/</url>

This will fail during customization
 <url>http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/released/RHEL-5-Server/U7/x86_64/os/Server/</url>
Comment 2 wes hayutin 2012-02-03 15:03:11 UTC 
looks like Ian posted a fix for the locking issue...
https://github.com/aeolusproject/imagefactory/pull/69

We still have an issue w/ RHEL57.. probably should be tracked in a diff bug
Comment 3 Ian McLeod 2012-02-03 15:59:38 UTC 
Yeah.  So, I don't believe the 5.7 issue is a factory bug.  I was able to build with:

<url>http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/released/RHEL-5-Server/U7/x86_64/os/</url>


However, that URL _cannot_ be used as a repo location because it isn't one.  Unlike RHEL6, there's no "repodata" directory at the root of a RHEL5 install tree.  For customization you must include things like this in the repo section:

http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/released/RHEL-5-Server/U7/x86_64/os/Server/
Comment 4 wes hayutin 2012-02-03 16:28:16 UTC 
ok.. well that makes sense..
now we need to figure out if katello can export a RHEL 5 template in that way... hopefully it can
Comment 5 James Laska 2012-02-03 21:49:50 UTC 
I just spoke with the yum folks and got some ideas.  Long story short ... we need to iterate through each package and check the exit code.

Alternatively, I can provide a small bash (or python) script to do the right thing when given a list of packages.
Comment 6 Ian McLeod 2012-02-03 21:53:06 UTC 
I strongly suspect that James meant for the comment above to be made against 785225:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785225
Comment 7 James Laska 2012-02-06 12:19:45 UTC 
Ugh, yes that's true ... please disregard comment#5. Apologies for the noise.
Comment 8 Ian McLeod 2012-02-06 21:51:52 UTC 
So, based on comments 1-4, I believe this is notabug.

Closing as such.

If anyone disagrees, please reopen.
