We don't currently support mirror lists as repo urls. This is a nice thing to have, and hopefully we will be able to add it in a future release. The low level yum repo objects that we are using don't support mirror list urls directly, so we'd have to do some of the parsing ourselves most likely. -Justin > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel -- Justin Sherrill, RHCA 1801 Varsity Drive.
