[Amitakhya Phukan]

Hi all,

Here is what I am doing. I too am not able to configure the group metadata
on spacewalk.

I have copied the entire contents of the DVD to /sw/rhel6.5/. For
populating my channel, I have pointed the repository to
file:///sw/rhel6.5/Packages as it is told that Spacewalk will not descend
into directories. I have also run "createrepo -g comps.xml
/sw/rhel6.5/Packages". Still the group information is not available. Where
am I wrong ?
