[Spacewalk-list] Channels vs. Repos

[Kobus Bensch]

Hi

I use channels with repos for up stream access to centos and updates 
released by centos.

I also have channels with no repos. These channels are usually for rpm 
packages we build or for packages from suppliers that do not have a 
repo. For exampl when you download an rpm from a supplier.
