I mean when adding a repository in the spacewalk web gui - what URL
should I add for (as an example) debian squeeze - i.e
http://debian.org/debian/squeeze... etc

But your response kind of answers that - you don't.

So just to clarify...

Say I want debian squeeze - how can a setup the repo - I take it I
cant just make a local mirror of the debian repo and keep the same
structure  i.e

/debian/pool/main
/debian/pool/non-free

i.e does it need all the packages in one directory - or can I point to
to a file in

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable-updates/Contents-amd64.gz
and that contains the directory structure?

(sorry if this isn't making sense)

regards
