Re: [Spacewalk-list] How can my CentOS 6.5 be up to date?
The question Spacewalk is asking / answering when it shows you updates available to your system is Are there any newer versions of packages installed on this system in channels this system is subscribed to. In your case, if the 6.5 client is subscribed to a 6.5 channel that only has packages up through 6.5 in it, then everything will be up to date. The fact that 6.6 has been released somewhere else is not relevant, what matters is what's in the channel and what's on the system. -Stepehn On 11/06/2014 10:59 AM, Daryl Rose wrote: Michael, I'm not sure that I understand your response.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How can my CentOS 6.5 be up to date?
Daryl, good afternoon Have you checked your log files looking for some error ?! When you create your environment, you create a repo, after a base channel, after ?! Have you registered the servers directly to your base channel or before did a cloned channel and them register the server to the clonned new channel ?! Case you did the cloned (and I really recommend), you can check your logs, imagine, during the cloning process, one error happened, the metadata or files in fact can be corrupted, showing a wrong information or strange things happening, like showing to be necessary update, although you don't have packages to update.

if you use the frozen 6.5 you wont get any more updates, unless you reay need to pointing to the symlink ones better. Also rather than using the web interface in future you can use /usr/bin/spacewalk-common-channels -v -u admin -p pass -a x86_64 -k unlimited 'centos7*' 'spacewalk-client*' Which deals with adding channels and repos like magic :) On 6 November 2014 16:16, Daryl Rose rosed...@gmail.com wrote: Amedeo, For the 6.5 base I used the URL path: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/os/x86_64/ I am in the process of adding an update channel, and I am using URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/updates/x86_64/ Are these not correct?

Waldirio, Thank you for the information, but I'm still a bit confused on how to configure the channel and repositories.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How can my CentOS 6.5 be up to date?
Daryl You can do like this Repo repo: repo_centos6.5 url: http://mirror.globo.com/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/ Channel base channel: centos6.5_x86-64_base After this you will create a child channel Repo repo: repo_centos6.5_update url: http://mirror.globo.com/centos/6.5/updates/x86_64/ Channel base channel: centos6.5_x86-64_base child channel label: centos6.5_x86-64_update So you will create your environment like example above to all channels you want in your server, but the best practice is, to your clients, you need a controlled environment, so you will clone your base channels to freezed channels, for example, to your development channels, you can create like bellow dev_centos6.5_x86-64 |-- dev_centos6.5_x86-64_update | | -- dev_epel_6_x86-64 | -- dev_vmware_6_x86-64 remember, base channel will receive update all days (if you define this update frequency, in your freezed channel, you will define when will be updated, sure after some tests like, your application will run normally after update gcc or kernel, anyway, you have to test before apply in your production environment. More 0,50 cents, you may create base channels like: prod_base channel name # Production environment homolog_base channel name # Homolog environment dev_base channel name # Development environment Let me know if was clear the explanation.

Waldirio, I believe that is how I now have this setup. I have a CentOS 6.5 Channel setup and under it, I have two repositories setup, 6.5 Base and 6.5 update. Now that I have the update repository setup, the client that I'm setting up now show's that there are 128 packages that need to be updated.

Hello Sure, you can do that using spacewalk-clone-by-date, although if you know this command, probably you use RHN Satellite and there is like this (all minor releases in just one base channel), and the clone-by-date is to do what you have (different's minor releases), so you can do by different ways to reach the paradise! ;-) Talking about best practice, another good point is still your clients in the last minor version. ;-), think about.
