Hey, all. I'm continuing to tweak and/or try to bend Spacewalk to my will. This morning, I ran "yum update" on one of my servers, and noticed that there was a Samba update (from Sernet). This wasn't reflected in the Samba channels I created in Spacewalk, which is OK, since I have these channels set to update every Saturday afternoon, the first of which comes up this Saturday. But, to make sure everything works as it should, I updated the channels manually from the CLI. Worked fine.
Now, as per help through an earlier post, I created cloned channels of the original Samba channels so as to be rid of the x86_64 packages, which I don't use, and which without being rid of would cause the updates to my machines to fail. Also works fine. BUT, I noticed after the manual update that my machines weren't seeing the new Samba packages. It was only after I 1) deleted the previous version packages in the original Samba channels, and 2) deleted the packages in the cloned Samba channels, that my machines now saw that updates were available. I understand from the previous post that I have to accomplish 2) either manually or via a script. My question though (and sorry it's taken me so long to get here) is should newly updated packages replace older ones in my original Samba channels (or any channels, for that matter), or must I go through this two-step process each time an update occurs?
