[Spacewalk-list] Exclude packages from installing via client configuration

[Michal Bruncko]

Hi Michael,

thanks for response. I've created clone of selected repository and 
removed unnecessary packages as you told. But the question is how this 
cloned channel stay up-to-date with original channel? I mean when there 
will be new packages/versions synced within original channel, how the 
synchronization will work with cloned channel now?
As I can see currently no repository is selected within cloned channel - 
but how to keep up-to-date this cloned channel with some excluded packages?

many thanks
