Greetings Spacewalkers,

I have a process question for you.  Here's the setup:

You have your systems setup in Spacewalk and subscribed to channels that are 
frozen in time, e.g.  some systems are subscribed the channels with all the Q2 
patches and updates.  Other systems may still be subscribed to the Q1 patches 
and updates.  You have your latest channels that are sync'd with the vendor's 
latest offerings but no systems are subscribed to these "latest" channels.

Let's say a vendor (Redhat, Oracle, etc) releases a critical bug fix patch to 
their "latest" channel.   Let's say you want to deploy this critical bug fix 
asap - even though it is out of step with your quarterly patching cycle.   You 
have a system that is subscribed to a channel tree that is frozen in time, for 
example a system is subscribed to your Q2 patches.    You're not ready to 
update everything yet but you do want this one critical bug fix patch (and any 
dependencies) to be made available to this system.

How do you go about handling this type of situation?

Thanks,

Larry
