[Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server

[Jeremy Davis]

Hello,

Why not use the same urls that are used for the kickstart configuration.
There are URLs that you can use as baseurls for a yum configuration. I am
currently using them in my environment for servers that are unable to join
Spacewalk for what ever reason. Works really well and doesn't require any
management or any additional commands other than updating the distro trees
when a new version is released (CentOS Major versions like 5.7 to 5.8). All
packages that are available from Spacewalk are available to these URLs
without any other need for external applications to update.
