[Spacewalk-list] Question concerning Channel-Delete (removing old channels)

[Matthias Gruber]

Hi!
First of all, thanks for your time to read that :-)

Second we are using a SW 2.9 on CentOS7.7

Now my Question ;-)
Is there a recommended way to delete old CentOS-distribution-Channels 
(Versions),I am a bit confused ??

We have a Base-Channel called centos-7 with childs
centos-7_6-base
centos-7_6-updates
and so on....
Now with CentOS 7.7 there are new additional childs
centos-7_7-base
centos-7_7-updates
etc....
all with their individual repositories attached

From this Base-Channel we cloned our "production"-Channel called 
"clone-centos-7"
now with
clone-centos-7_6-base
clone-centos-7_6-updates
clone-centos-7_7-base
clone-centos-7_7-updates

at this Base-channel the clients are connected and subscribed to their 
respective Child-Channels

So far nothing special, I think.

Now I would like to remove the 7_6-Part, since there are no Clients 
attached anymore, and CentOS 7.6 is "dead".
I would start with the clones, afterward the "distro-Channel", were the 
client-channels have been cloned from

BUT, what makes me crazy, and I am not sure and would like to have some 
advice/clues/hints that enlights me:

I get a page in SW which tolds me he would like to delete packages.
Great Idea so far, because thats why I do that split of centos 7.6 and 
7.7, to delete the old Version 
and free up some space in /var/satellite

But SW shows me packages to delete which are also in 
clone-centos-7_7-Channels!

Did I make something wrong, is there a recommended way to delete, or is 
that a problem
of my Channel design?

I even bought that SpaceWalk-Book, heheh well that doesnt help either :-)

Any help is appreciated...

cheers
Matthias
