[Spacewalk-list] how is repo data maintained/updated

[Ted Toth]

I've created a kickstart distribution and profile for a channel which
I'm then trying to use in as a repo in a pungi spin. However despite
updates going into the channel they are not being picked up by pungi
during the iso build? Can anyone explain exactly how repo metadata is
maintained? Is it updated when new package versions are put into a
channel? I read somewhere that repo metadata is generated on the fly
so how does that work? pungi and reposync aren't spacewalk aware and
they just download the possibly stale metadata files, right?
