[Spacewalk-list] Problem Sync'ing a new Channel in Spacewalk.

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Marc, good afternoon

Works in my environment, maybe your problem was network connection in the
moment of sync. Take a look bellow

###
[root at spacewalk ~]# rhn-satellite-exporter --list-channels
Channel List:
B = Base Channel
C = Child Channel

B centos65-base-x86_64


[root at spacewalk ~]# spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos65-base-x86_64
--url http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ --type yum
#### Channel label: centos65-base-x86_64 ####
Repo URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/
Packages in repo:              6518
Packages already synced:          0
Packages to sync:              6518

Although, if you are using a minor release (5) of 6.5 in this case, I
recommend you to sync from http://mirror.globo.com/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/

Another point is, you can define the spacewalk to sync for you (I'm not
sure if you are just forcing bu cli or preparing the command to add in your
crontab for example), just setting in webui, the taskomatic will do this
hard work for you! ;-)

Let me know if you have another question or about the same.

Take Care
