Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The kickstart repo for rhel 5 doesn't work for syncing distributions in Pulp, as Pulp expects the .treeinfo and repodata in the same directory. In this case, the layout is (provided the live CDN has the same structure as http://download.devel.redhat.com/cds/prod/content/dist/rhel/server/5/5.9/x86_64/kickstart/):

   /.treeinfo
   /Server/repodata

The os version of repo (http://download.devel.redhat.com/cds/prod/content/dist/rhel/server/5/5.9/x86_64/os/) seems to have the right layout.

Also, for RHEL 5.10, it seems there is not the kickstart repo at all.

Additional info:

This might be partly a regression of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805925

The missing repodata directories should be there now.

Able to sync both rhel 5.9 & 5.10 kickstart repos without any issues.

Created attachment 925845 [details]
can sync both rhel 5.9 and 5.10 kickstart repos

This was delivered with Satellite 6.0 which was released on 10 September 2014.
