[Spacewalk-list] sync yum group information into Spacewalk

[Frank Mikkelsen Blohmé]

Thank you James!
This was the information I was missing to get it working.
After rerunning createrepo with the -g <group file> and rerunning spacewalk-repo-sync it works just fine. Our clients can get yum group information!

Best regards

Where should the yum group xml file be placed in the above example for spacewalk-repo-sync to find it and sync it into our Spacewalk 1.8 server? I have tried to name it comps.xml and place it in the /var/www/html/repository/inhouse_stored/repodata directory, didn't work. I have tried to compress it using gzip so its name becomes comps.xml.gz, still didn't work.



It's not enough to just have that file there - it has to be referenced in the repomd.xml file  (similar with the security update information) for spacewalk-repo-sync to pick it up...

If you use createrepo to make a local repo and include the -g switch it should include the relevant information in repomd.xml for the groups present...
