Hello Daryl, Yes, that's correct. > What do others do when you are no longer using a channel? Do you delete it, > or just leave it?

It depends on what you need to achieve: * Do you want to keep channel but mark it visually so no one will use it? Then I'd rename it. * Do you want to keep packages for the reference? If not remove them (from the webUI) and run spacewalk-data-fsck to unlink unused packages from filesystem. * Do you want to remove it completely? Use spacewalk-remove-channel. > Thanks > > Daryl Regards, -- Michael Mráka System Management Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
