[Spacewalk-list] Products Not Available For Install

Hi Gerald - thank you for the quick reply.



As regards syncing the centos6-base-x86_64 channel, this appears to be working, unless I’m misunderstanding the screenshot below;

As for this question;

Why didn't you use spacewalk-common-channels to set up common channels like the CentOS?

I don’t really know what this means. I’ve recently inherited this role and have no previous SpaceWalk experience, so I’m learning as I go !!



Many thanks



Frank

Your server uses the centos repositories directly to obtain updates,

i.e. it doesn't use spacewalk.



Your client connects to the spacewalk server which uses the software

channel centos6-base-x86_64. It seems your channels does not contain

current version, i.e. it probably does not sync correctly with the

centos repositories.



Make sure your software channels have repositories configured and those

repositories have syncs scheduled.



Also make sure that you not only have a base channel but also the

updates channel for the updates repository.



Why didn't you use spacewalk-common-channels to set up common channels

like the CentOS?



Cheers,



Gerald
