[Spacewalk-list] proper way for creating channels for rhel7

[Florin Portase]

Hello,

I just have downloaded a huge list of rpms from: 
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os

Also I  do have  independent dvd for each release : DVD for rhel 7.2,
7.3, 7.4

Now what I can't figure out how to do properly:
 
1.
- create a base channel for rhel7.2 [ from dvd ] + a child channel rhel
72-updates from all rpms *7_2*.rpm
- create a base channel for rhel7.3 [ from dvd ] + a child channel rhel
73-updates from all rpms *7_3*.rpm

i do have an activation key 1-rhel72  for rhel 72 release  and 1-rhel73
for  rhel 73 release

now, if I want to upgrade from 72 to 73 w/o changing activation keys, or
base channel in GUI howto do it properly  ?

2.

2nd approach

create a base channel with ALL rpms downloaded from 
"https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os"

and and activation key for  it , but if I'm running currently on rhel 72
and do yum update don't want to jump directly to rhel74, but only to
install rhel72 updates

it's  something related to clone-by-date.... but as I said don;t know
how to do it properly.
