Re: [Spacewalk-list] GPG Key setting for Channel Details?
Cameron Kerr wrote: % In my experience its somewhat advisory (ie. will work without it), and % I believe you can have packages that are signed with a different key % if needed.

GPG key in spacewalk channel has the same meaning as gpgkey option in yum.conf, i.e. A URL pointing to the ASCII-armored GPG key file for the repository. This option is used if yum needs a public key to ver- ify a package and the required key hasn’t been imported into the RPM database. If this option is set, yum will automatically import the key from the specified URL.. There's just one difference - for spacewalk channel yum will automatically import only keys from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg for security resons. % Word of warning though, do not create a signing key on RHEL6 and use % it to sign packages that will be deployed to RHEL5, as this will cause % incompatibilities and the packages will not validate correctly on % RHEL5.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server
Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your reply. Since we have not yet set Kickstart on the Spacewalk server, the method you suggested doesn't work here. nz From: Jeremy Davis jdavis4...@gmail.com To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 5:13:30 PM Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server Hello, Why not use the same urls that are used for the kickstart configuration. There are URLs that you can use as baseurls for a yum configuration. I am currently using them in my environment for servers that are unable to join Spacewalk for what ever reason. Works really well and doesn't require any management or any additional commands other than updating the distro trees when a new version is released (CentOS Major versions like 5.7 to 5.8). All packages that are available from Spacewalk are available to these URLs without any other need for external applications to update.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk not pushing packages.
Hi, First post. I've installed and setup Spacewalk on a CentOS 5.8 machine (all of my clients are CentOS 5.8 32 and 64 bit) I have configured Spacewalk to download various CentOS and other repositories and all the clients are registered with the server and have osad installed and running. Spacewalk shows that each client is registered and requires a various number of update packages but, apart from a job appearing in the Schedule Pending Actions when I send packages, nothing much happens. Eventually it fails. The other thing I don't understand is that unless I have .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ for repositories which can supply the update packages, when I do yum update I get no results - despite Spacewalk telling me that there should be. Also, when I DO add .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ that point to repositories which can supply the update packages the downloaded packages come from those external servers rather than the local Spacewalk server. I must have something configured incorrectly. Any pointers? Steve -- = Steven J.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server
Thanks Paul for the clarification. See the following commands and outputs please. There is no .repo file available (all enabled=0), then where the 'yum list' come from? I am confused: # yum clean all yum clean metadata yum clean dbcache Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Cleaning up Everything Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security 0 metadata files removed 0 sqlite files removed 0 metadata files removed Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security 0 sqlite files removed # grep enabled=1 /etc/yum.conf # # grep enabled=1 /etc/yum.repos.d/* # # yum list | more Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Installed Packages Deployment_Guide-en-US.noarch 5.8-1.el5 installed GConf2.i386 2.14.0-9.el5 installed GConf2.x86_64 2.14.0-9.el5 installed GConf2-devel.i386 2.14.0-9.el5 installed GConf2-devel.x86_64 2.14.0-9.el5 installed ImageMagick.i386 6.2.8.0-15.el5_8 installed ImageMagick.x86_64 6.2.8.0-15.el5_8 installed MAKEDEV.x86_64 3.23-1.2 installed Thanks. nz nz From: Paul Robert Marino prmari...@gmail.com To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com; fn...@yahoo.com Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 4:39:41 PM Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server Under the hood mrepo runs createrepo for you On Oct 16, 2012 3:35 PM, fn...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi, I believe that this is a good subject, but haven't found related info yet online about it.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server
yes that would be correct the RHN plugin that spacewalk uses does not use the configurations in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory it uses the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date for all its information if you dig into that file a little you will get a better understanding of how it and Redhat Network functions.
