[Spacewalk-list] Using Spacewalk also as basic repo server

[J Epperson]

Well, I'd use yum, not rpm. But here's an example of how we do the HP
Proliant Support Pack repos. With this setup we can do "yum
--enablerepo=HP-spp install <package>" for any SPP package (but you
could use rpm and URLs if you insist). We don't use Satellite/spacewalk
child channels because we'd have to replicate them for each QA snapshot
clone base channel. 

HP-spp.repo: 

# Local HP spp repo for hp-health, hp-snmp-agents, hpacucli, etc.

I've bee searching on specific keywords for this type of use but cannot find any type of content that would show me how this can be done. It will just make it easier if I can combine both a regular local yum server and the features of spacewalk.
