When exporting multiple repositories, we need to create the directory structure in advance, which is a bit tricky since katello-disconnected can be used on a client. Would you mind creating a small bit (maybe a export option, maybe this could be a default) to create directory where repository is about to export with all the parents directories? Like mkdir -p /export/path/blah/blah. It could help me to simplify disconnected.
Hi Lukas, Would you mind explaining what you are looking for here a little bit more explicitly? I'm just now starting to learn about our ISO export distributor, and so I am not yet very familiar with everything that it does (or doesn't do). Are you asking for a way to specify a directory tree that a list of repositories should map to? For example, if you had repo_1, repo_2, and repo_3, would you want to be able to specify that the ISO filesystem were laid out in some particular way that put each repo at different (or the same?) paths? Perhaps a JSON structure mapping repo IDs to paths inside the ISO would work? { "repo_1": "/repository_1", "repo_2": "/other_repositories", "repo_3": "/other_repositories" } Or am I misinterpreting the request? Thank you, sir!
""" However, I think the short-coming you want to address is: Pulp assumes this directory (/var/lib/pulp/published/http/exports) already exists, and returns an error if it does not. """ Since the directory is already created and since I mis-understood how ISO export works, I think I can close this RFE now. We need to re-think how Katello will import the ISO files keeping the directory structure. Thanks.
