His question for the list was about non-subscribed systems using a Spacewalk channel as a yum repo. If you have any answers for either of those questions, that would be useful. I don't think either of us have questions about how to load an existing on-disk repo into Spacewalk or how to use it on subscribed systems, which is what your answers are about. But thanks for your interest.</p> <p>On 2013-10-08 9:08, Thomas Foster wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" style="padding-left:5px; border-left:#1010ff 2px solid; margin-left:5px; width:100%"> <p dir="ltr">Baseurl is in your .repo file..you want to setup apache on your existing repo. Make sure you run createrepo and your repo.xml and primary.tar files are there..make sure apache can see the repo bt connecting to the site and see if your files are listed in apache. If you can see youe repo from apache you are halfway through..next go to spacewalk and create a new channel which wilk host alk of your rpms. Then you need to associate a repository for that channel (pointing at you apache install) then run sync packages and you should see them in spacewalk. After that you sub your systems and patch.</p> <div class="gmail_quote">On Oct 8, 2013 9:01 AM, "J Epperson" <<a href="mailto:spacewalk@epperson.homelinux.net">spacewalk@epperson.homelinux.net</a>> wrote:<br /> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 .8ex; border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> <div style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <p>I have not been able to figure out how to set up a ".repo" file such that a non-subscribed system could use a Spacewalk/Satellite channel as a yum repository.

And i found its very useful tool to manage lot of Redhat, Centos and fedora machines. <br /><br /></div> In my env., i have a local repository server and spacewalk. But i want to remove that local repo server, because same repos are in spacewalk channels. <br /><br /></div> So my question is that, can i use spacewalk channels as a local repository server. Means single repository used on both way in spacewalk and local repo also. So i just go to any machine and create a .repo file and mention all baseurl which is available in spacewalk and thing will work for me. <br clear="all" /> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div><br />--</div> <div>papseddy</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br /> <pre>_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </pre> </blockquote> <div> </div> </div> <br />_______________________________________________<br /> Spacewalk-list mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a><br /><a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a></blockquote> </div> <br /> <pre>_______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </pre> </blockquote> <div> </div> </body></html>
