[Spacewalk-list] Errata error

[William H. ten Bensel]

The issue with disabling is, when you upgrade the settings for the repos 
configurations are re-enabled by the package centos-release-x-y.  So, you 
have to do the entire disable step again.   RedHat and Oracle installs do 
not do this, because they expect you to be using Satellite/Spacewalk/other 
to manage the server and give you an option to download the repo 
information if needed.   It would be nice if the centos-release was 
separated out into release information and repo rpm... 
But until then, as a permanent solution you can put this into all of the 
kickstarts and on the servers.

mkdir -p /some/directory/xxxx
echo "reposdir=/some/directory/xxxx" >> /etc/yum.conf
Pros: 
        Do not have to disable the repo's every time you upgrade the OS.
        3rd party applications default to /etc/yum.repos.d.  So, 
installing these application on servers with intranet only access will not 
break or slow down the yum commands.
        If the 3rd party application needs access to a yum repo, you can 
set  the repo up on the spacewalk and manage access through that channel.

Con:
        Manual management of files that need to go into 
/some/directory/xxxx.   If you are not installing many 3rd party apps, 
this shouldn't be too big of a con.
- Thanks and good luck

Look into your /etc/yum.repos.d directory and ensure ALL the *.repo files 
in there have “enabled = 0”

Hi,
On hosts registered on Spacewalk, if I launch “yum check-update” I see a 
lot of the following output:
 
Update notice FEDORA-EPEL-2015-6860 (from epel7-el7-x86_64) is broken, or 
a bad duplicate, skipping.
You should report this problem to the owner of the epel7-el7-x86_64 
repository.
Update notice FEDORA-EPEL-2016-be5049e73d (from epel7-el7-x86_64) is 
broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
Update notice FEDORA-EPEL-2015-0085 (from epel7-el7-x86_64) is broken, or 
a bad duplicate, skipping

Update notice RHBA-2016:2551 (from rhel7-x86_64) is broken, or a bad

Could you please suggest me how to manage it?
 
Regards,
Rosario
