BTW, for Wafa and Ethan and others out there, I did manage to get SUSE 12
repos to work with Spacewalk 2.9,
but I had to hack the code a bit by creating a sles repo plugin for the
updates.suse.com + authtoken urls.
Of course now that I've got it all sync'ing for SLES 12 repos, I have
found out that I'm going to actually need SLES 15
repos, but I expect that should work as well. If somebody wants to
generate a pull request, e-mail me and I'll send you
the diffs.

Cheers,

Paul-Andre
