[Spacewalk-list] Syncing the ovirt yum repo?

[Steve Meier]

Hi Rob,

that's right. The repodata directory is mandatory and not present for
each architecture, which I believe it should be.

In this case your best bet maybe to use something like wget to
fetch all the RPMs from that directory and then run rhnpush to
put them into your Spacewalk channel.

Kind regards,
   Steve
