I couldn't get it to work, so I came up with what I thought was a more elegant solution ... I have a script that runs daily (/etc/cron.daily) to sync my spacewalk installation with the repos. Previously it used reposync and rhnpush, but now I can just use spacewalk-repo-sync and save my self about 20G of space.. :) To solve the mirror problem, and hopefully still stay somewhat true to the idea of using a mirror list, I'm using the following : MYURL=`curl -s "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5.3&arch=i386&repo=os"; | head -1` spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos-5 --url $MYURL --label base-5 --type yum It ran last night and sync'ed all of my systems, so it seems to work well. One question I did have is whether the repo sync will remove packages that are no longer in the repository ... I'll test this out myself, but if anyone knows, I'd appreciate the info. > Andy Speagle Thanks, -- --------------------------- Jason Frisvold [email protected] --------------------------- "I love deadlines.
