... and activated with a satellite entitlement certificate like RH Satellite customers do ...
(Yes, it works with Spacewalk, too and I'd suppose is what Jan means.)


Another option is to use spacewalk-repo-sync tool.
You can synchronize any valid yum repository to Spacewalk using this tool.
Just put any custom rpms into a directory, generate repository repodata using the createrepo tool.
When creating new repository, just fill the label and URL (no certificates are needed for a regular
yum repository).
