[Spacewalk-list] Channels management and client registration

[Balint Szigeti]

hello Christian,

1) No, you can't
2) No, isn't.

The solution is, you have 2 or more different EPEL chanels which are 
using the *SAME* repository.
So your EPEL 6.2 and EPEL 6.0, and so on, use the same repository. In 
that case the RPMs will be downloaded only once and they will not be 
duplicated.

regards,
Balint
