I saw mrepo mentioned in some reading but didn't exactly grok what I was
reading and you are the second to mention it, so I'll look into it.
Thanks

If you have RHN access with enough system entitlements and want to sync RHEL content, you should look at the "mrepo" utility. This will allow you to pull down RHEL content from RHN from which you can create yum repos. You can then sync your Spacewalk channels with these repos.
It's rather roundabout....but it works. Good luck.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Initial load of Red Hat channel...?
I seem to be missing something obvious. I've installed Red Hat 5.2 (in
a VirtualBox VM) and installed Spacewalk. Now I need to create my first
channel. I downloaded Red Hat 5.2 and copied the ISO to the file system
and tried:
satellite-sync --list-channels --mount-point /var/rhn-sat-import/rhel
It fails saying it is unable to process file
/var/rhn-sat-import/rhel/channel_families/channel_families.xml
Sure enough, that file is not there. I read the documentation on how to
get the channel iso but it only gives me an iso without the channel
information. The documentation does not seem to exactly describe the
web ui navigation through the RHN web site so I'm not sure if the
documentation is slightly out of date and I am guessing wrong, or if
there is some other detail I am missing.
I do also see the URL for repo sync in Spacewalk, but don't understand
what the URL should be for Red hat version 5.2. I put in this:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/
And it said repository sync scheduled, but I see no evidence it actually
did anything... okay wait, before I hit send I went and looked again
and it does look like it did something, just not what I wanted it to.
So maybe the URL above is just incorrect? How do I setup a local Red
Hat 5.2 repo?
Any help appreciated.
