[Spacewalk-list] Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel_sci_6. Please verify its path and try again

[Matt Moldvan]

Great, yeah that stuff is usually taken care of in the bootstrap, which is
how we register our systems to Spacewalk initially.  The hard part is when
we have to reregister systems after they already have
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid and so on... but that's another story.
