[Spacewalk-list] Using mrepo with Spacewalk 1.8

[Tom Brown]

> If you follow the link on the mrepo project page (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/mrepo/) it specifically says to use gensystemid when creating local repositories.  If I try to sync it fails because there are no rhn ids for the directories I want to sync to, which is what I understand gensystemid is supposed to create.

you use gensystemid on the host that is going to be downloading the packages, this host can download packages for multiple channels, RHEL5, RHEL6 etc etc - This is used alongside the rhn creds that are actually used to login to rhn.
