[Spacewalk-list] Channel Sync'in

[Coe, Colin C. (Unix Engineer)]

Be aware this can take a *very* long time to run (i.e. hours depending on the number of packages).  I'd suggest tailing your apache logs /var/log/httpd/access_log and putting rhnpush in verbose mode (-v).

Have a look at my comment on https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/spacewalk/wiki/UploadFedoraContent towards the bottom of the page

Note: I found that the above failed on Fedora 9 Everything. My work around was

    find . -name "*rpm" | xargs rhnpush --channel=fedora-9-i386 --server=http://localhost/APP -v --tolerant -u spacewalk -p spacewalk
