[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk repository info

[Michal Bruncko]

ok thanks, and that answer was for client (net)installation or also for 
package installation from installed clients via yum?

I have tried to disable all standard repo pointers from yum.repos.d and 
using only rhnplugin, but I cannot search nor install any package on 
client with yum and spacewalk sw channel. it seems that rhnplugin is 
only for package updates installation and not for searching nor 
installing arbitrary packages.
i want to have local repo of fedora (for searching/installing packages 
on existing systems), but I'am trying to avoid of packages duplication 
(between reposynced local repository and spacewalk sw channel) a using 
spacewalk channel for that purpose. it is possible at all or not?

thanks
