[Spacewalk-list] Channel Recommendation - Best Practice

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello friends, good morning

I've one doubt and would like to share with you to get feedback about what
should be a best practice about it. For any reasons, in different
environments we have to create a freeze channel, for example RHEL or CentOS
6.2.

What do you recommend !?, Create a freezed channel using a release date
from specific version or use a date before the next release ?! Let'me
explain with example, the version of RHEL 6.2 was delivered in 2011-12-06
(OS without erratas) and the version 6.2 complete with all erratas was in
2012-06-19 (one day before next version).


Release/Update General Availability Date redhat-release Errata Date* Kernel
Version   RHEL 6 Update 6 TBA TBA
TBA  RHEL 6 Update 5 2013-11-21 2013-11-20 RHSA-2013:1645-2
<https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1645.html> 2.6.32-431  RHEL 6

Update 3 2012-06-20 2012-06-19 RHSA-2012-0862
<http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0862.html> 2.6.32-279  RHEL 6
