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

[Jet Wilda]

Hi,

 

                So then your workstations have the spacewalk server and
your local yum repository setup to get RPMs from.  Am I understanding
that correctly?  Or how do the work stations get something from say EPEL
that isn't setup via it's activation key channels?

 

Thanks,

~Jet

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)

Hi,

 

                I'm trying to understand the relationship of the files
in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.rep once a system is configured to sync against
the spacewalk server.  Are those files not used at all once the system
is using spacewalk?  If not is there a place that you can configure the
repo settings like priority, enabled, etc?

 

Thanks,
