[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk - while update Linux patches from 6.6 to 6.8 version, its pointed to 6.9 version instead of 6.8 version

[Tomáš Kašpárek]

Hello,

rhel-x86_64-server-6 channel contains all updated of RHEL released up to 
current date, which means that it will automatically take you to latest 
RHEL 6 released (currently 6.9).
If you want to stay on RHEL 6.8 you either have to consume RHEL 6.8 EUS 
channel or use spacewalk-clone-by-date utility to clone channel contents 
prior release of RHEL 6.9 (which means that cloned channel will be 
effectively RHEL 6.8 with all updates). For more information see either 
Red Hat Satellite documentation [1] or man spacewalk-clone-by-date.
