[Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your reply. Since we have not yet set Kickstart on the Spacewalk server, the method you suggested doesn't work here.

Hello,

Why not use the same urls that are used for the kickstart configuration. There are URLs that you can use as baseurls for a yum configuration. I am currently using them in my environment for servers that are unable to join Spacewalk for what ever reason. Works really well and doesn't require any management or any additional commands other than updating the distro trees when a new version is released (CentOS Major versions like 5.7 to 5.8). All packages that are available from Spacewalk are available to these URLs without any other need for external applications to update.
