Spacewalk's repo sync can handle each package being in a different subdirectory just fine.

Per OS type (like EPEL6) just download the RPM from the link I posted, open the RPM and extract the exact repository URL from the RPM.

This can be used in the spacewalk repository configuration page.

We got it up and running for EPEL6 and EPEL7 without any issues

The link provided by Jan-Albert only gets you an rpm to create a yum repo on a system. I don’t see how that would work with Spacewalk.  The packages are actually here:  https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client/epel-6-x86_64 .  The problem is that each package is in its own directory (unlike, say, http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.7-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/ ).  Again, how would one make that work with Spacewalk.

Thanks…but that didn’t help:

Good afternoon,

Repositories have moved.

Client packages can be found at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/spacewalkproject/spacewalk-2.8-client/

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] More problems with Spacewalk 2.8

Greetings Spacers,

I continue to have issues with Spacewalk 2.8.
I am using Centos 6.9 fully patched with a fresh install (not upgraded) of SW 2.8.

When I use this command:
/usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -u $SW_USER -p $SW_PASS -a x86_64 spacewalk28-client-centos6

I get the resulting repo of:
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/
which doesn’t exist – all my syncs fail and no client software to install.

Ditto on the spacewalk28-server-centos6 common channel.  I get the repo of: http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.8/RHEL/6/x86_64/
Which doesn’t exist.

What are the correct repos to use for SW 2.8 client/server for Centos 6 and Centos 7?
The pre-release testing of SW 2.8 appears to be lacking somewhat.

Regards,

Larry
