Hi,
I’m new to spacewalk, and I’m not sure how to organize the channels.
If, for example, you are running CentOS 6.7 without spacewalk, and you
run “yum update”, you will end up at CentOS 6.9. If I add spacewalk,
what is the best way to do that? Do I make a centos67-base with a
centos67-updates child, then a centos69-base with a centos69-update
child, using the respective repositories (which I think are a
vault.centos.org and http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.9/os/x86_64/)?
But then do I have to change which channel my server is subscribed to
from the centos67 to centos69? Or should I make a centos6 channel with
the child centos6-updates channel using the repositories for latest
minor version (http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/ )? Is this
advisable?
From the CentOS point of view:
Only the current release is supported, and any older one is missing
importent or critical updates sooner or later. So, always stay current
regarding the OS itself.
I for myself have a CentOS bases channel for 6/7 and an update channel
for 6/7 (and probably a CR channel for each during point release time).
Both point to current releases at a mirror near me.
So, at a point release, this usually includes some work to remove
outdated packages and stuff.
Is there documentation for best practices for setting up/organizing
channels?
Thanks for your advice!
Nicole
