[Spacewalk-list] Firewall requires internal Mirroring EPEL and spacewalk repos

[Boyd, Robert]

I see your point - I'm just not sure how this actually will work.   I'm still learning how things tie together.   If I want to  have Spacewalk mirror EPEL and Spacewalk Client, what are the URLs I would use to create repositories in Spacewalk?   And then what does the yum repo link look like to be able to install the client software on a new client?   Surely someone has had to do this before for an environment where the clients aren't allowed to face the Internet directly.

Or I suppose I could create a sub-directory under http://spacewalkhost/pub  with the specific rpms linked into it and pull them down that way.   What I'm looking for is the most reasonable way to make it work with the least amount of ongoing maintenance required to keep it up to date.

Thanks,
Robert

Keep in mind as long as you don't use osad its all https so I don't see the point.

Well yea but why not just have spacewalk directly mirror epel and cut out the middle man

It appears that due to firewalling and such I'll need to build an internal yum repo mirror of EPEL and spacewalk repos.   I have mrepo running on my spacewalk master server.   Can I easily tell mrepo to mirror those 2 so I can serve them internally from there?

And, question #2 - if I have spacewalk proxy servers running, can I use them as repo mirrors too with what's already installed on them, or will I need to install mrepo or figure out using createrepo to do that?

Thanks for any tips you might think of for doing this.
