There's two things you have to do to associate a Spacewalk channel with a
yum-compatible repo.
First you have to setup the repo in spacewalk.
Channels -> Manage Software Channels -> Manage Repositories
Then you'll have to click the "create new repository" button in the top right
of the screen, provide a Label and URL and then click Create Repository.
Next, you'll have to associate your Spacewalk channel with that repo you just
setup.
Channels -> Manage Software Channels
Click on your channel name
Then in the menu bar under the title for your channel, click on "Repositories"

If you want to sync your channel with the repo, then there should be a "Sync"
link right below the menu bar under the channel name. Looks like this
CHANNEL NAME
Details Managers Errata Packages _Repositories_
Add / Remove Sync
Click Sync, and then hit the Sync button on the bottom right of that screen,
and reposync should kick off. You can go to a command line and watch it using
"tail -f" for the log file that is created under /var/log/rhn/reposync/

After much digging through all documentation from Red Hat, CentOS, and
Spacewalk; scouring the web; and going through the application, I am having
problems loading a repository to a channel.
The Spacewalk docs say there is a web page to do this beginning with 0.6, which
does not show up when I click through its example ("Channels" -> "Manage
Software Channels" -> click on your channel), which brings up the settings for
the channel and includes the "Last Sync Time", but no way to associate it with
a repo. Is this feature not in the 1.1 release or is it a CentOS thing (or am I
just missing something)?
The CentOS docs say to do a spacewalk-repo-sync to populate the channel:
spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos5-base-i386 --url
file://spacewalk.blue-net/yum/5/i386/CentOS<file:///spacewalk.blue-net/yum/5/i386/CentOS>
Repo file:/spacewalk.blue-net/yum/5/i386/CentOS has 3433 packages.
1/2599: kde-i18n-Bulgarian-3.5.4-1-1.noarch
failure: kde-i18n-Bulgarian-3.5.4-1.1.noarch.rpm from centos5-base-i386:

Sync complete
Looking in the /var/satellite and /var/spacewalk directories show nothing in
them.
All yum repositories are local to the host and work, as I had to use them to
load Spacewalk (which is why I am using the file:// go locate the local .rpms)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
