[Spacewalk-list] FW: redhat channel in spacewalk

Happy for help. About SW support RHEL, in theory is not supported (so this
is a RHN Satellite feature), although technically you can add. About be in
compliance, since you share rpm packages to your rhel environment, but to
all RHEL's that you have subscription, no problem. What you CANNOT do is,
you have 1 rhel subscription, use this account to download rpm files and
have 100 rhels registered in your SW receiving packages and updates.

Ps.: I checked this with redhat a long time ago, would be grateful if our
Red Hatters friends tell us something about it.

Downloading rpm from redhat, the process is the same, you can configure a
local repo and sync them or if you download a rpm package, you can send to
channel via rhnpush.

Let me know if you have additional doubts.

Take Care
