Description Daniel Mach 2013-11-13 11:52:03 UTC 
AFAIK kickstart installations use repodata from kickstart trees.
This means that installed package versions match with the repodata and possible newer packages in channel(s) are ignored. User needs to update his system after installation.

I'd like to have an option to ignore ks trees repodata and use the latest packages from channel(s).

Resetting to default owner.

Switching the component. Let's try to address this for Spacewalk.

I think this bug is fixed in spacewalk.git commit 67dbd92c7b877d59698430a6aa76f4124b9e9479 by removing lines:
-            print("Kickstartable tree %s already synced." % ks_tree_label)
-            return

So, now if you run spacewalk-repo-sync with a parameter --sync-kickstart, repodata in kickstart/<org_id>/<repo_name>/repodata will be updated as well.
