If there is, I haven't found it either. :) I create a Spacewalk client 
repository in /var/www/html/pub on the Spacewalk server (with a .repo file as 
well) and modify the bootstrap-ol.sh script to:

1. Create a repo file
2. Upgrade the client
3. Register with Spacewalk
4. Delete the repo file

That's the only way I could find to do it. Essentially, the Spacewalk client 
repo doesn't need to be up-to-date either, it just needs to allow registration. 
Once the server is registered, the usual Spacewalk-driven update system takes 
over.

Cheers,
Avi
