Hi Alyson, Thanks for your response. My setup is identical to yours. I have all the packages in Level1 and created a Level 2 Private Channel that has all the packages that one would expect in 6.4 release. Now if I want to push packages from Level 1 to Level 2, how would I do that other than rhn_push?
