Hi Jeff, Yes, it is a two-step process but it is a workaround to the Spacewalk server not having the subscription to other distributions (or even major releases). For example, if your Spacewalk server is RHEL 7, and you want to download/push RHEL 6 packages using a local machine you can

Hi Jeffrey Thanks for your reply. It seems I would have been better off by starting with installing Spacewalk on a RHEL 7 server rather than an OL 7 server then? Can you just clarify/confirm what URL's you've configured for the RHEL 6/7 repositories please (obviously, for the RHEL 6 local,
