I don't think you can avoid the many small directories that the RPMs end up in. 
 You can, however, specify the root of those directories - in the Web front 
end, go to Admin - Spacewalk Configuration - General Configuration.  There's a 
box labelled "RPM repository mount point".  Specify where you want the repo 
root to be.  In my case, I created a directory on the Spacewalk host named 
/spacewalk, which is what I specify in that field.  When my repo syncs are run, 
everything lines up under /spacewalk (in my case, 
/spacewalk/satellite/redhat/1).  I suppose specifying / as the RPM repository 
mount point would put the RPMs in /satellite/redhat/1, making it perhaps a bit 
"cleaner"

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] repo sync question

Hi,

Newbie here.  I have spacewalk installed and running on Centos 7.  I just 
set-up my first channel and repo.  I did a repo sync (almost 10000 rpms 
synced).  I went searching for the rpms, which it put in 
/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/.....  In Bunches of different directories under that 
leaf.  I did not  know what to expect, and I would like to tell spacewalk where 
to drop those *.rpm files.  I cannot find a repo configuration file that lets 
me do that, nor can I find good documentation that tells me how to do it, or if 
I can do it etc.  I was half expecting them under /etc/satellite....

If you want to just point me at documentation, I am up for that.  Thanks in 
advance!

Regards,

Jen Mead
