[Spacewalk-list] how is repo data maintained/updated

[Jonathan DeHaan]

I'm not sure if this is applicable to your situation, but yum caches 
the repodata (I'm not sure how long). If pungi is pulling things from a 
system defined yum repo, then you may need to clear the cache under 
/var/cache/yum/ in order to see updates.
