Complementing, you can automate this process via

// SW
- config channel

// Outside SW

Hi All,

I first stopped into the IRC but it was a ghost town. Hopefully not
so, here


this mailing-list is quite active ;-)


In SCCM (Its been a while), if I added a package/app/etc, any asset
subscribed to the parent of that package would eventually
automatically receive it. My question about Spacewalk is, if I put an
app on spacewalk under a main software channel, will it eventually
force that app to all subscribed systems, or will they only receive
once I schedule it to be pushed to selected systems (SSM)? Basically
wondering if its safe/normal practice to have two systems subscribed
to one channel, adding an app to that channel and having it only
installed onto one of said two systems.


Channels in Spacewalk work like normal repositories do. They make 
software

packages available to the clients that are subscribed to them.

There is no such thing as an automatic package installation with 
Spacewalk.
So you can put new packages and even multiple versions of the same 
package
into a channel. These will become available to the client(s) but you 
have to

trigger the installation.

Kind regards,
  Steve
