Description Fotios Tsiadimos 2015-09-02 13:59:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
The documentation says that the rsync for the pre-cache for RHN-PROXY servers should be as below but also says the pre-cache option is only for custom channels not the RHEL channels:


rsync from sat:/var/satellite/redhat/*/  to proxy:/var/spool/rhn-proxy/rhn


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 5.7 or 5.6

How reproducible:

In the Official Documentation of Proxy the first line in the below chapter: 

4.2. Configuring Proxy Precaching
Your Proxy server can precache or mirror custom RPM files.  

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Proxy_Installation_Guide/sect-Configuring_Proxy_Precaching.html

At the end of the Doc the example show to sync all the channels:

crontab -e
1 3 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -r user.com:/var/satellite/redhat/*/ /var/spool/rhn-proxy/rhn
Comment 2 Dan Macpherson 2015-09-09 02:09:18 UTC 
So if I understand correctly, the issue is that we initially state it's for precaching custom channels when really it's for precaching all channels. Is this just a case of removing all references to "custom" in this section?
