For spacewalk, you should be able to satellite sync content from an
exporter mount point. So say you have a channel created and push a bunch
of content to it.Not instead of repeating the same steps on other
servers, you could export the existing channel from the spacewalk server
suing rhn-satellite-exporter,
$ rhn-satellite-exporter --dir /my-channel -c test-channel
and sync this back to another spacewalk server,
$ satellite-sync -c test-channel -m /my-channel
So the only difference is satellite sync is not talking directly to RHN,
instead used locally.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
