Hello, I recommend to use one channel for one repo. E.g. for CentOS 7 it looks like: Parent Channel Button CentOS 7 (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Atomic (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Cloud (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 CR (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Extras (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 FastTrack (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 OpsTools (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 PaaS (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Plus (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 RT (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Scio (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Storage (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Updates (x86_64) + Child Channel CentOS 7 Virt (x86_64) + Child Channel EPEL 7 for CentOS 7 (x86_64) + Child Channel Spacewalk Client 2.9 for CentOS 7 (x86_64) + Child Channel Spacewalk Server 2.9 for CentOS 7 (x86_64) > Regards, > > Chen Wenkai > Infrastructure Security Engineer Regards, -- Michael Mráka System Management Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

I'd recommend to create a separate child channel for updates and do not mix os and updates rpms into one channel.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk server keeps resyncing same packages from channel
HI Spacewalk users, I have a Spacewalk server configure with several channels (CentOS and RHEL). When I tried to do a spacewalk-repo-sync, I discovered that it keeps syncing the same packages over and over again. These same packages are already resynced during the last repo sync. However, it gets synced again. For instance, my command below runs a spacewalk-repo-sync on a channel twice. In those 2 runs, the same packages are being downloaded and imported. Its seems to me that these packages never got written to database. Anyone can help advise if this is correct or incorrect behaviour? Thank you .
