Thanks for the reply. I'm using the following entry in my yum repo file
[Centos4-x86_64-base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #baseurl=http://centos.mirror.ac.za/4/os/x86_64/ baseurl=http://mirror.ukhost4u.com/centos/4/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 I changed mirrors above to test if it was a problem with the mirror When I run the following command, it syncs 486 packages only #> reposync --repoid=Centos4-x86_64-base [Centos4-x86_64-base: 485 of 486 ] Skipping existing CentOS/RPMS/zlib-1.2.1.2-1.2.i386.rpm [Centos4-x86_64-base: 486 of 486 ] Skipping existing CentOS/RPMS/zlib-devel-1.2.1.2-1.2.i386.rpm Surely there has to be more than 486 packages on the mirror? The same happens with other repo's although they have different counts Thanks Shaun "Alexandros Soumplis" <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 24/06/2009 10:50 Please respond to [email protected]; Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject Re: [Spacewalk-list] Best why to Sync Centos repo?? How many packages for CentOS 4 are online on the repository you use to sync with ? I assume that centos 4 packages are less than those of centos 5. In any case check reposync progress for errors. > Hi all > > I've got spacewalk installed and working. I have created channels for each > Centos repo I need.
