[Spacewalk-list] Channels vs. Repos

[Brian C. Huffman]

All,



I'm just getting started with spacewalk and I followed on online guide to set up channels and repos for CentOS systems.  But then I found out that I can also add packages to the channel itself with no underlying repo.  So, what's the benefit of having repos?  What scenarios would require repos?  In what scenarios would it not make sense to use repos?



Thanks,

Brian
