The non-rpm files will not pose a problem. I imported HPs repo a few says ago 
without problem.

I would wonder though why you don't have more o a 1:1 repo:channel 
relationship, and then manage membership using the same methodology as with 
channels.

For example, I have custom channels for each third-part/ISV component that 
makes up part of our standard opener rating environment (SOE).

You could then also have separate activation keys which enable a particular SOE 
+HP_Proliant, or +VMWare_guest. You could then put in some logic in the kick 
start which does some hardware inspection and uses a comma-separated list of 
activation keys. However, this is currently a hypothesis, and is not something 
I have actively explored.

Hi!, do you guys usually include repo from hardware vendors?, HP and Dell have 
their utilities in public repositories but HP includes some non RPM files in 
there also, can that be handled by spacewalk?

Ref:
http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/SPP/suse/SLES11/x86_64/current/

Currently I have 4 channels with all the related repositories linked to them:
sles11-x86_64-vmware
sles11-x86_64
rhel5-x86_64
rhel6-x86_64

What would be the best way to organize them?, should I keep this organization 
adding Dell and HP to each channel or create different channels with repos for 
each vendor?
