It is accomplished by: A Kickstart profile is pointed to a "clone-by-date" base channel, updates, extras, debuginfo, and spacewalk-client. This gives us 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.5r1, 6.5r2, 6.6, kickstarts. Systems->kickstart->profiles-> "profile" -> Kickstart details -> Operating system The same Kickstart profile has an activation key that is pointed to the updated version base channel, updates, extras, debuginfo, and spacewalk-client. Systems->kickstart->profiles-> "profile" ->Activation Keys -> "activation key" -> Child Channels So, if the kickstart profile 6.4 is used, the older packages are installed. Then the activation key is applied with the updated channels which allows the newer packages to be available but not installed during kickstart. The Admin/application team is then able to determine when the best time would be to update the system. Caution: If you are cloning the spacewalk-client channel and doing it this way <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280167" target="_blank"><tt>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280167</tt></a> - Thanks and good luck From: Noah Rømer <<a href="mailto:baronmog@gmail.com" target="_blank">baronmog@gmail.com</a>> To: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> Date: 03/09/2016 05:02 PM Subject: [Spacewalk-list] old package versions installed during kickstarts Sent by: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> <hr noshade> This email originated from outside of the company. Please use discretion if opening attachments or clicking on links.<hr> We're using Spacewalk 2.2 (on CentOS 6.6 servers) to handle kickstart profiles and channels. If I update a package in one of the channels/yum repositories, after doing a spacewalk-repo-sync for the channel, the new version shows up as an available update, but the old version is still installed when a new system is kickstarted. Any ideas on what would cause this? There is a http proxy and a spacewalk proxy in front of the spacewalk server, but restarting the proxies doesn't fix the issue. Often times, the issue will go away after a few days/weeks, but I can't connect it to a specific action. That makes me think there's some cache somewhere that I haven't yet found. -- Squirrels are the lunatic teenagers of the animal kingdom.<tt>This email originated from outside of the company.
