It's not clear to me what I need to put on the spacewalk server, and what
on the client. I got spacewalk-client-tools, but it contains only the
spacewalk-client->>tools.repo and the
<snip>
Well, ignore that, I figured it out. However, I'd like to set this up to
retrieve the client tools from my spacewalk server itself, not from the
mirrors. I tried editing
the spacewalk-client-tools.repo, but when I tried yum, it complained that
it didn't have ../repodata/repomd.xml
Is this something I have to explicitly get, with a seperate reposync, or a
wget, to put it on my spacewalk server? What's the preferred method?
I think the simplier solution is to create a directory on the spacewalk
server and put all the relevant RPMs in that directory. For example:
/var/www/html/pub/spacewalk-client-tools
Then write a script that will 'wget' the necessary RPMs from that directory
and register the client. Of course you could do both, create a "spacewalk
client tools" channel, and have a directory with all the needed RPMs.
Actually, I'm in the process of writing my own script that will
automatically register CentOS 5.2 clients (i386 & x86_64). I'm using the
following Fedora example as a template:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/ManagingFedoraSystems However my
script will pull all the keys and necessary client (and prequisites) rpms
from my spacewalk server.
