ok thanks, and that answer was for client (net)installation or also for package installation from installed clients via yum?

I have tried to disable all standard repo pointers from yum.repos.d and using only rhnplugin, but I cannot search nor install any package on client with yum and spacewalk sw channel. it seems that rhnplugin is only for package updates installation and not for searching nor installing arbitrary packages. i want to have local repo of fedora (for searching/installing packages on existing systems), but I'am trying to avoid of packages duplication (between reposynced local repository and spacewalk sw channel) a using spacewalk channel for that purpose. it is possible at all or not?

thanks

Hello list

It's possible to use spacewalk software channel as yum repository for
downloading and installing packages (and ideally for client netinst)
from clients and not only for updates installation?

Yes, a have read some articles about creating my own repo with reposync,
interconnecting it with spacewalk with spacewalk-repo-sync and using
that first repo for yum packages installation (and of course, spacewalk
sw channel only for updates)... but this idea is bad for me. Why I need
to have the same packages from single repository (fedora13) stored in my
system 2-times? (local repo with reposync and spacewalk storage - and
that packages uses 2-times more of disk space).


thanks

yes you can use it as a repo in kickstart and it has a whole kickstart
web gui to help you do so
