No, since spacewalk 2.1 you *no longer need to use mrepo* but you can
sync the RHEL channels directly with spacewalk-repo-sync.
Just take a peek at the repo configuration options in the webinterface
and notice that you can add SSL certs, which is what RHN uses nowadays.
You can get the certs via the RHEL customer portal.
More details you won't find I'm afraid. It's a nice project to get it
working but I can assure you it works and once you get it up and running
you'll be happy to be rid of any extra scripts/daemons/... (maybe Paul
Robert Marino gave extra info in the past, just try searching the
mailing list archives as he keeps repeating to everyone asking this
question ;))
As Waldirio also mentioned, technically as long as your spacewalk host
has an RHEL subscription and all your RHEL spacewalk clients do too, you
should be OK license-wise.
Regards
Jeremy
