[Spacewalk-list] Anyone using distribution mapping for custom channels?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Judd

You can do this via 2 ways

One should be syncing the specific version, for example, about CentOS

http://vault.centos.org/6.6/os/x86_64/ <== your repo pointing to 6.6

http://vault.centos.org/6.1/os/x86_64/ <== your repo pointing to 6.1

Another way and if you have the entire packages in remote repo, should be
using spacewalk-clone-by-date. You can define one specific date and clone
it.

Take a look on this link - https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux as example, we can create one channel to
rhel 6.6 with or without errata, so the rhel6.6 with all erratas will be
one day before the release of rhel6.7 (2015-07-21) and rhel6.6 without
errata will be (2014-10-14)

Let me know if it's clear to you.

Best Regards
