I would just create two new child channels off of your CentOS5U2 channel called:
CentOS5U2-Updates
CentOS5U2-Extras
This is how I have mine setup in a testing environment, and it seems to be
working okay. I plan to extend mine to have two base channels, one for i386
and another for x86_64 architecture. But for now, all the machines I have for
testing are i386 based.
I think the spacewalk-tools channel is just a custom channel used as a
placeholder for the client spacewalk tools. Which doesn't seem that useful to
me. Because you would have to register your client with the spacewalk server
in order to access the channel, which requires some of the client tools to be
installed in order to register. And if you put them in their own base channel,
then you will have to register, change to the spacewalk-tools channel, install
the extra RPMS, and then switch back to the desired base channel. Seems like
it would be more useful to create a <docroot>/pub/spacewalk-client-tools
directory and put the client tools in there. Then you can go grab them at any
time with a wget, whether you are registered or not. Anyone have any other
suggestions?

hi all
I'm looking for a few hints and tips.
I installed spacewalk and created a new channel, CentOS5U2. I created an
activation key for the channel and then registered a test system using the
key. I also created a configuration channel, installed the neccessary rpms on
the test system, added the system to said new channel and pushed a config file.
So all fine so far.
What I want to do next, and can't quite work out what to do is have our
centos repository in the newly created CentOS5U2 channel. So that would consist
of three yum repos, one for the base which we use for kickstarting machine, one
for updates and a local repo for extra software. Whats the best way of to go
about this?
Also, I've seen mention of spacewalk-tools channel, what is this?
Any help appreciated
regards and nice work
John
