[Spacewalk-list] Repo question...

Thu Jan 17 22:13:24 UTC 2019

6 should work.  I believe that by using 6, instead of e.g. 6.10, when the distro is upgraded (e.g. 6.9 -> 6.10), you pick up the upgrade.  My Spacewalk repo for CentOS 6 is http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/.

I did check /etc/yum.repos.d and did a "dry run" of yum on the machine.  There are more updates using a local yum update from the command line than from Spacewalk.  The one that caught my eye, and concern, was a new kernel.

So.  Do I use the specific version directory when setting up the Spacewalk repo (6.10) or do I use 6.

Thanks,

Dave T.

[ALERT]

Might you have packages installed from repos which are not accounted for in Spacewalk?  You might want to look in /etc/yum.repos.d, as well as to run yum update on one of your machines (without actually installing the updates), and check those against what Spacewalk would update.

I am using Spacewalk 2.8 on CentOS 7.  I still have lingering CentOS 6 (technically 6.10) machines that need updates. I noticed that the amount of update that updates available for my 6.10 machines under a local yum update are different that what Spacewalk offers.  So I did some digging via browser in http://mirror.chpc.utah.edu/pub/centos (a physically near mirror) and found very specific directories like 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, and 6.10.  I current have the repo for my CentOS 6 machines set to use "6" in Spacewalk, but my CentOS machines are really "6.10".  What directory should I be using?  I thought "6" covered all the 6's.  But, maybe not.

Why is it so hard to find this info online?

Thanks in advance,

Dave T.
