[Spacewalk-list] Client software update (download package from spacewalk server)

Wed Jun 13 14:31:30 UTC 2018

For another two cents….

Any time that the centos-release package is updated, even if it’s updated from your Spacewalk server, /etc/yum.repos.d will be repopulated with the CentOS public repositories.

This has been a continual pain point here, as I very specifically do NOT want my client systems going out to the public Internet for any updates.  I’ve ended up with a rather custom script for patching that, among other things, also cleans out /etc/yum.repos.d.

If you removed the repo files, you can run "yum clean all" to ensure everything is in clean state.
You can also (simulate) install a package from your repo and check whats listed in the repo column.
If there is no repo file with a remote repo, it won't be used. How should the system know about it if it is not configured?

I wonder why my systems don't use these external repos. I set up the system using kickstart (directly via PXE, no pre-configuration).
Ever since installation, only my channels are in use.

Kind regards,
Kevin Olbrich.

Hello Waldirio,

Ok, see to be fine but you know, for checkup I need to be sure that the client take packages at the spacewalk server and not elsewhere.
That's why I asked how could I check that from my client side? But perhaps it isn't possible?

I'll remove too, the repo --name config from my kickstart file.

Thanks a lot and best regards, J.

Hello J
Good to know everything is ok.
Sorry, I didn't follow your question *Is there still a way to check it on the client, like logs or so???*
Btw to all CentOS machines you can remove the files by default when registering on the SW, then will be available / visible just the SW repos.
Best

Hello Waldirio,

Thanks for your quick replay.
Ok, I've moved all repos from /etc/yum.repos.d.
Now, it seems to be ok, because the *yum repolist all* showed me the list from spacewalk.
Is there still a way to check it on the client, like logs or so???

Best regards,
J.

Hello Jérome
You can remove *or just move* the standard .repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d to another directory, after register on the Spacewalk, the client will manage this repos, you can enable/disable via cli or just via webUI *Spacewalk*
Let us know if you have any additional question.

Dear All,

I've created a new system (client) with spacewalk 2.4 (satellite 5.6) using CentOS 7.
From Spacewalk server I can now managed this client. The registration was ok.
The upgrade is running too but unfortunately the client take not the package from Spacewalk server but directly from internet. (Is it correct that packages must come from the spacewalk server??)
Here're the config file from the client:

# ls -tlr /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 48
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  203 May  6  2015 spacewalk-client.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  223 May  6  2015 spacewalk-client-nightly.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1050 Oct  2  2017 epel-testing.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  951 Oct  2  2017 epel.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4768 May 17 15:53 CentOS-Vault.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1331 May 17 15:53 CentOS-Sources.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  630 May 17 15:53 CentOS-Media.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  314 May 17 15:53 CentOS-fasttrack.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  649 May 17 15:53 CentOS-Debuginfo.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1309 May 17 15:53 CentOS-CR.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1664 May 17 15:53 CentOS-Base.repo

What can I do to change this issue ?
Shouldn't these repos be defined by Spacewalk Server?
The Client Configuration's Guide spoke only regarding registering client but not about to do update.

Thank you and best regards, J.
