Description Dan Callaghan 2011-10-21 00:49:21 UTC 
The CSV export for install options produces rows like this:

install,machine.example.com,i386,None,None,,"ksdevice=link console=ttyS1,57600n8","console=ttyS1,57600n8"

Attempting to re-import the same CSV output gives errors like this:

machine.example.com: Error! Invalid family None

The "None" values should probably be written as empty string in the CSV output instead.
Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2011-10-24 04:04:00 UTC 
While testing I noticed that the CSV output also fails to include install options for specific distro families and updates -- it only includes at most one row per system, instead of all rows. That will be fixed with this bug too.
Comment 2 Matt Brodeur 2012-01-20 19:07:59 UTC 
Just in case it wasn't tested/fixed already, this bug shows up on the exclude csv_type too.

heka-srv-01.sbu.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com: Invalid Family Fedora7 Update None
heka-srv-01.sbu.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com: Invalid Family Fedora8 Update None
and on and on


Replacing the literal "None"s in the input CSV with empty strings does allow the import and sets the desired values.
Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2012-01-27 03:37:34 UTC 
Nope sorry, I didn't notice that problem with the exclude CSV. I've created bug 785048 for that.
