[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk installation clean up after longer time of running adn adding channels - Some questions

[Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator]

Hi,

we have a spacewalk system up and running fine since 2.0. Now I have the
time to integrate the centos7 repos, add diskspace etc etc.

It is spacewalk 2.3 on a centos 6.7 server.

Diving trough the configurations of the old channels (centos 5/6) I'v
seen that the spacewalk client channels still point to the 2.0
directories and the GPG key is from 2012.

Furthermore I noticed, that most of our servers look updated form what I
see in the system overview, but If I run a local yum update, I get a lot
of packages.

On the other hand it looks like the local yum tries to pull the packages
from external mirrors and not form our local spacewalkserver.

Long story short; I'm a bit confused.

a) After updating the spacewalk server, I do have to update the client
repositories and GPG Keys to the corresponding version?

b) why is the system overview fine, and a local yum update not?

c) why is a local yum update not pulling the updates from my spycewalk
server but from the official mirrors?


Thanks for hints and suggestions tu clear things up!

	Regards . Götz
