One issue that keeps cropping up is my spacewalk channels will inexplicably contain more packages than the actual upstream channels, even though when I run the repo sync command it reports that the upstream repo has the correct number of packages. For instance, this morning my CentOS OS repo had 4400+ packages in it and running the repo-sync command reported that there were 3535 packages in the upstream repo. Not sure how it happens, but I get multiple copies some of the packages. I’ve been deleting all of the packages in my SW repo once a week and letting it do a complete re-sync in order to get the correct number of packages. Has anyone else seen this behavior? If so, are there any better ways to handle it? I’ve set up my repo syncs to run nightly from a cron with the format “/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos5-os-x86_64 --url http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/ --type yum”. I would think that’s ok, but maybe I should be running something slightly different, or have better luck setting up the syncs through the web UI?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another issue I get is random <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
