[Spacewalk-list] How can my CentOS 6.5 be up to date?

[Daryl Rose]

Amedeo,

For the 6.5 base I used the URL path:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/os/x86_64/

I am in the process of adding an update channel, and I am using URL:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/updates/x86_64/

Are these not correct?  Should I use only http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6?

The documentation leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't provide an example
of setting up the repository channel.  I found a YouTube video of a guy
setting up a Spacewalk channel and repository.  He used the first URL that
I posted.  Is using http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6  a better method?

Any and all suggestions made are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Daryl
