As per http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5237 the .treeinfo file still has a reference to boot.iso although it doesn't exist.
This breaks 'smart mirror' stuff like pulp from syncing properly as it exits on the non-existent file when setting up a distribution tree for kickstart purposes.
Any one with access able to remove/correct the errant line?

James

Yes ... we are looking at that issue in 6.1 right now.

this is fixed in the 6.1 media, I can change this in the mirror.centos.org http mirrors, but ofcourse its not going to get fixed in the 6.0 media out there :)

No worries on the media KB - I can fix my own media - it's just about syncing with upstream ;)
Have you test with that line gone from .treeinfo ? Does the key still need to exist ? I suspect were going to break other apps by completely removing the key

Over this way things still appeared to work fine with that particular line gone but honestly I haven't had time here to to exhaustive multiple tests beyond pulp sync against a repo with that line gone and some kickstart installs here with it gone.....
If you guys are already working through a similar issue in QA for 6.1 then let it be settled there and ignore the current mirrors for now - I can work around it in my environment here so it isn't a significant issue for me - just wanted to highlight it given that pointing to a file that doesn't exist is naturally bad behaviour from general perspective.....
Unfortunately I don't even have any upstream media here to confirm what that says given that boot.iso was removed with 6.0 and is a 5.X item...
I do wonder what other apps might be reading it and how they are behaving given the file doesn't exist.
