I would % think that's ok, but maybe I should be running something slightly different, % or have better luck setting up the syncs through the web UI? This usually happens for repos like Fedora or CentOS. Once they release new version of a package they also remove older version from the repo. On the other hand packages in Spacewalk channel aren't removed so you can see all released version of the package there. Q: Why to keep all package versions? A: To be able to do rollback to older system snapshot.
