[Spacewalk-list] confused about channels and repositories

[Elizabeth Jones]

I am a little confused about channels and repositories.  I have centos and oracle servers so i need two different base channels.  However, we also have an epel repository that all servers need to access.  I tried creating a new channel that could contain packages from both the centos repo and the epel repo -- but spacewalk is now telling me that this channel has no packages, although the packages exist in the repositories.  Do I need to disassociate these repositories from the other channels in order to use them in this channel? Can I have two base channels set up and have both use the epel repository?  Right now it seems to be telling me that it needs to sync both repos for use in the new channel.
thanks,EJ
