Thank you James!
This was the information I was missing to get it working.
After rerunning createrepo with the -g <group file> and rerunning 
spacewalk-repo-sync it works just fine. Our clients can get yum group 
information!

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] sync yum group information into Spacewalk


Where should the yum group xml file be placed in the above example for 
spacewalk-repo-sync to find it and sync it into our Spacewalk 1.8 server? I 
have tried to name it comps.xml and place it in the 
/var/www/html/repository/inhouse_stored/repodata directory, didn't work. I have 
tried to compress it using gzip so its name becomes comps.xml.gz, still didn't 
work.



It's not enough to just have that file there - it has to be referenced in the 
repomd.xml file  (similar with the security update information) for 
spacewalk-repo-sync to pick it up...

If you use createrepo to make a local repo and include the -g switch it should 
include the relevant information in repomd.xml for the groups present...
