This is exactly what I wanted. Not that there wouldn't be a better way
to do that (like linking a channel to many parents, rather than
linking the same repo to many different channels. Same result, but
requires an extra step for the repo linking.
But anyway, this is great news. I can continue testing. Many thanks
for pointing this out.

Quoting Balint Szigeti <[email protected]>:
hello Christian,
1) No, you can't
2) No, isn't.
The solution is, you have 2 or more different EPEL chanels which are
using the *SAME* repository.
So your EPEL 6.2 and EPEL 6.0, and so on, use the same repository.
In that case the RPMs will be downloaded only once and they will not
be duplicated.
regards,
Balint

Hi all,
I have an issue I can't find a solution. I have a CentOS 6 channel
(including subchannels) as a base channel, plus EPEL 6.8, also as a
base channel.
I need the clients to be able to update against these two base
channels. But it looks like I can't register a client to more than
one base channel. The simplest idea would be to drop the EPEL base
channel, and recreate this EPEL channel as a child channel. But I
also have a CentOS 6.2 base channel, which also need to have EPEL
as well....
EPEL is a more or less 10,000 package channel. I don't want to have
it copied and copied again in every base channel I need it. This
makes no sense. So my questions are:
1) Is there any way to register to more than 1 base channel ?
2) Is there a way to refer a base channel as a child channel of
another base channel? This way, it would be possible to have the
channel configured once, but referred many times, as some sort of
channel alias, if I can say.
Christian...
