[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk not pushing packages.

[Boyd, Robert]

Steven,

What do you get for output when you do this on a client:

Yum --verbose repolist

?

Hi,

First post.

I've installed and setup Spacewalk on a CentOS 5.8 machine (all of my clients are CentOS 5.8 32 and 64 bit)

I have configured Spacewalk to download various CentOS and other repositories and all the clients are registered with the server and have osad installed and running.

Spacewalk shows that each client is registered and requires a various number of update packages but, apart from a job appearing in the Schedule Pending Actions when I send packages, nothing much happens. 
Eventually it fails.

The other thing I don't understand is that unless I have .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ for repositories which can supply the update packages, when I do "yum update" I get no results - despite Spacewalk telling me that there should be.

Also, when I DO add .repo files under /etc/yum.repo.d/ that point to repositories which can supply the update packages the downloaded packages come from those external servers rather than the local Spacewalk server.

I must have something configured incorrectly.

Any pointers?

Steve
