[Spacewalk-list] API endpoint for repository 'Has signed metadata'
Hi, I had a look at the API to create/modify/delete repositories. I noticed that there is an undocumented* API call createRepo which accepts a boolean, which I assume is the 'Has signed metadata'** checkbox you can find in the webinterface. It seems though, that there are no API calls to check for that setting, or set it after repo creation. Is that correct? * client.api.getApiCallList(key) lists it in the output, but it's not in the docs: http://spacewalk.redhat.com/documentation/api/2.6/handlers/ChannelSoftwareHandler.html#createRepo ** introduced here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-devel/2011-March/003313.html Best regards -- Sebastian Meyer Linux Consultant & Trainer Mail: me...@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list

You do realize that Red Hat just updates the latest minor release till some point in time when they decide, okay that's now our new minor release?

Re: [Spacewalk-list] question about local repos with spacewalk.
Hi Jason, don't clone the repository to local, just let the spacewalk do the cloning. Spacewalk sorts the packages into it's own structure and serves them via tomcat, not as a normal repository. If you are talking about RHEL repositories there's been a thread a few weeks ago, describing the necessary steps to get those into Spacewalk without first syncing them to a RHEL system.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Channels vs. Repos
Hi Brian, in production you don't want to push all updated packages manually into channels. That's what repos are for: Upstream CentOS releases an update, that's in the repo and get's synced automatically into your channel. Otherwise you would have to keep tabs on all your distributions and check for updates to download the .rpm and push it to the channel. As Kobus pointed out, rhnpush is used mostly for single or self-built rpms, that don't have a repository. Though I'd suggest creating repositories for self-built rpms aswell. It's not that hard ;) Another use case for rhnpush would be an offline spacewalk installation. You'd download the updates somewhere else, and push those to the spacewalk channels manually. This is only necessary in very restrictive environments. Regards, Sebastian On 26.08.2015 15:17, Brian C. Huffman wrote: All, I'm just getting started with spacewalk and I followed on online guide to set up channels and repos for CentOS systems. But then I found out that I can also add packages to the channel itself with no underlying repo. So, what's the benefit of having repos? What scenarios would require repos? In what scenarios would it not make sense to use repos?
