[Spacewalk-list] Kickstarting CentOS

[Philipp Wehling]

Hello, 

thanks for that advice. I will try that out. 

But here another question. I made my structure for some specific reason: 

What about the EPEL-Repository? If I divide the channels into CentOS7 and SL7 I have to create one EPEL-Channels for each of these. This wouldnt be efficient ... I mean: two times reposync, two times HDD utilization for no reason ... 

With my structure I only have one EPEL-channel for RHEL7. I register my clients to RHEL7 and I can de/select every other channel I want to have. Same handling for postgresql, jpackage, etc. 



kind regards, 
Philipp

there are some applications only running under CentOS (e.g. Oracle Database 11g, Weblogic, etc.) 
Due to historical installations, SL is the preferred Distribution. 



You should not mix multiple distros into the same channel hierarchy. Rather, create individual hierarchies for CentOS and SL so that when you kickstart, only the channels for a specific distro are listed and enabled. The confusion is because Spacewalk doesn't know which RPM to serve.
