[Spacewalk-list] reposync for fedora repo not working

[Gomes, Rich]

I decided to try to sync the fedora repos via the command line so I can script\cron it.
Spacewalk is running on a RHEL 5 server, I have copied the repo files for Fedora 11 from a F11 machine and placed them into /etc/yum.repos.d on the Spacewalk server.
If I use the $release $basearch in the repo files, I get an error running reposync stating that it cannot retrieve metadata for repository.

If I hardcode the release and basearch into the repo file, it runs out of mirrors to ry and them dies.

What can be done?
