[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk and mrepo

[Eric]

Greg,

Does that work well? Is it easy to automate/script the mrepo ->rhnpush  process?
Are you administering RHEL boxes with Spacewalk then?

TIA,
-Eric

I am using mrepo to download the packages, then push them into
spacewalk separately.  I don’t believe there is any all-in-one solution to sync
spacewalk from rhn, short of buying a satellite entitlement.  I use mrepo to
pull packages down, then rhnpush to get them into spacewalk.

Marcus,

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that I have mrepo working, but I was
just wondering
if the combination of mrepo and spacewalk would give me the basic functionality
of  downloading packages from RHN and pushing them to RHEL boxes.

TIA,

-Eric

You will find some examples on the mrepo page. Brandon has also
written a good tutorial, which can be found here:
