I am trying to avoid that. I hope to hv all reposync, be it RHEL Centos Fedora, to be done on the same Spacewalk box. I'm sure that is possible but I can't seem to locate the info in this list... <div class="gmail_quote"> On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 8:42 PM, Wojtak, Greg <<a href="mailto:GregWojtak@quickenloans.com">GregWojtak@quickenloans.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Here's what I did: On my RHEL servers (with valid rhn subscriptions), I installed and ran reposync for the appropriate RHN repositories I needed for my environment. 狢 then rhnpush'ed those - for RHEL 5 it was a total of 5353 packages and for x86_64 it was 7000+. 狢 don't have any better idea how to manage those, and I am still trying to figure out how I am going to manage them going forward. 泎ut at least I have a consistent set... for now. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -----Original Message----- From: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a>] On Behalf Of Alexandros Soumplis Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 5:28 AM To: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] reposync RHEL repositories on Centos Spacewalk Hi! Ok, i understand. Well I do not use any RHEL clients on my spacewalk infrastructure to be more helpful but I am more than convinced that you need to have a valid rhn subscription and then configure yum appropriately to connect to rhn repos as well. However it would be better if someone else on the list with rhel client can shred more light :-) > Hi Soumplis, > > thanks for the quick reply. I think I was not too clear in my earlier > e-mail.
