[Spacewalk-list] noarch channels

[Colin Coe]

Ahh, I've probably mis-understood the question.

So you have the base channels foo-5-i386 and foo-5-x86_64 and you need
a child channel that will have common (noarch) packages required by
systems using either base channel?  Then yes, two child channels are
quired, one for each base channel.

I recall reading that shared child channels will be a feature.  i.e. A
child channel that has two or more parent channels but I can't find
the reference now.
