[Spacewalk-list] Problem with repos

[JODonnell at afsvision.com]

OK I think it is working now.  I remember now that the 64 bit channel 
showed ~3700 packages on it own yesterday.  I just could not get the 32 
bit channel to work.  That is why I was at the add packages page.   I 
think there is some issue with the "sync now" button and the GUI schedule 
tool.  but I ran the command manually from the log file and it repopulated 
the 64 bit chanel with 3720 packages.  based on the error "ERROR: Package 
arch i686 incompatible with channel rhel6server-i386 " i deleted my 32 bit 
channel and repository and renamed them rhel6server-i686, then ran the "
/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel rhel6server-i686 --type yum 
--no-errata", an now it seems to work.  I have 2804 packages in my rhel6 
32 bit repo.  These chanels are synched to RPMS.os  on my mrepo servers. 
sould I now create child channels for my RPMS.updates repo and my other 
repos?

Whats in your logs?

Manage Software Channels -> Channel -> Last sync time

should start with
Sync started: Tue May  6 12:24:47 2014
['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', '', '--type', 'yum']
Repo URL: 
Packages in repo:             10766
Packages already synced:          0
Packages to sync:             10766

As long as your home made repository ownly has 32 bit it can only grab 
them so im not sure what you mean by 
" Im not sure how to get just the packages from my 32 bit repo into my 32 
bit channel". Just point the repo to arch=x86

I am just getting stated with spacewalk.  I was following the 
documentation to set up my channels and repos.  I configured 2 RHEL6 
 repos.  One pointing to my 32 bit mrepo server and one pointing to the 64 
bit serrver.  I created a new channel and then went to the repositiories 
tab and checked the 64 bit repo and wen to the sync tab and clicked "sync 
now".  nothing seemed to happen.  but soon i went to the "manage software 
channel" -> "manage software packages" page and saw some packages show up. 
 The number of packages increased to a few thousand.  But my channel 
showed no packages.   next i went to my channel and selected "packages" -> 
"add".  In the chanel drop down I selected "all managed packages".  It 
shows about 5,474 packages.  There is note on the page that says " Only 
packages of a compatible arch will be shown" But it shows all the 
packages.  I thought maybe it showed the 32 bit packages because they can 
be installed on a 64 bit system.  So i repeated the process with the 32 
bit repo and got the same result.  Im not sure how to get just the 
packages from my 32 bit repo into my 32 bit channel.  I'm not sure if i'm 
missing something.  I have found several guides online and all show the 
same process for creating the channels/repositories.
