[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Repository Filter issues

[Steve Meier]

Answering my own question here:

It seems that a hyphen starts a list of exclusions, so it is only needed 
once:
-eclipse*,xorg*,libreoffice*,evolution*,gnome*,kde*,kernel-doc*,kernel-debug*

This filter works and excludes packages such as eclipse, gnome and 
kernel-doc.

Kind regards,
   Steve
