[Spacewalk-list] EPEL repo update issue

Tue Feb 9 20:36:57 UTC 2010

So I just updated "mediawiki" to "mediawiki*" in my repo conf to fetch some additional requisite packages and did the below reposync script.
Same issue.
For the record... running 'yum clean dbcache' on the client rebuilt its yum repo cache but still didn't fetch the additional packages.

Which makes it look like the spacewalk server isn't updating its published repo catalog (or whatever the terminology is) even though the packages DO show up in the spacewalk EPEL channel now.

I am just wondering what the command on the Spacewalk server is to make it refresh that cache/catalog.

And as with most things Spacewalk... Time heals all wounds.
I went to a dental appointment and when I came back it recognized the existence of mediawiki on my Spacewalk Epel repo.  Probably some kind of repo cache that needed refreshed after adding the mediawiki package to the includepkgs line but I would have thought that one of the other reposync cronjob commands would have done that.
I.e...
reposync --arch=x86_64 --repoid=epel -p /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64 -d -l -g -n -q > /dev/null
cd /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel
createrepo /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel > /dev/null
/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel epel5-x86_64 \
                             --url file:///var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-x86_64/epel/ \
                             --type yum --label epel5-x86_64 > /dev/null

That comes from the CentOS spacewalk howto on centos.org.
Thanks.

yum list mediawiki*

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for?
