[Spacewalk-list] how do the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ relate when using spacewalk?

[Marco Giunta]

Hi,
workstations are connected to spacewalk server repository by 
'rhnplugin'; I think you can enable or disable a channel modifing 
'/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf':

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf

[main]
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1

# You can specify options per channel, e.g.:
#
#[rhel-i386-server-5]
#enabled = 1
#
#[some-unsigned-custom-channel]
#gpgcheck = 0

But you cannot manage priority, AFAIK. I manage it in this way:

- first, I sync external repositories (centos update, extras, rpmforge, 
epel and karan) with 'reposync -l bla bla bla ' ('-l' flag = enable yum 
plugin support) to a local directories on my spacewalk server
-then  I sync my local mirrors with spacewalk channels 
(spacewalk-repo-sync bla bla bla)
