[Spacewalk-list] Can Spacewalk (Satellite) manage SuSE patching well?

[Justin Edmands]

I believe your biggest issue will be that you cannot dive into the
repository level that you need. When I attempted this you needed to
have a repodata directory within the corresponding architectures
directory of packages to sync.

An example is that http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/ has
repodata but that is one directory level too high. It's for all
architectures and it wouldn't sync for me. CentOS has then in the
proper place. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/

Maybe it is fixed at this point and is able to make the distinction.
