[Spacewalk-list] Failed to sync repo that as some rpms on ppc64 arch

[Scott Worthington]

I tried the same thing in Spacewalk 2.0 as Amedeo Salvati.

1. Creating an Repository for:
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.4/rpm/el6Server/

2. Creating an x86-64 channel for ovirt and linking it to the repository above.

When syncing, the log ends with:

Linking packages to channel.
ERROR: Package arch ppc64 incompatible with channel ovirt-el6-server-x86-64-3.4
Sync completed.
Total time: 0:00:28

The packages do not link into the associated channel -- they stay stuck in
limbo the in the "Packages in no channels" under Channels -> Manage Software
Channels -> Manage Software Packages

Mixing x86-64 and ppc64 in the same x86-64 Channel appears to NOT work.
