Description of problem: Some Spacewalk users get confused when using spacewalk-repo-sync by the fact that the packages are not showing up in the channel, but as packages without channel. This make them thinking that there is something wrong and to stop the sync process and double check the configuration. It will be nice if there is note in section 1.1.4.3. Scheduling Repository Synchronization warning the the packages will be assigned to the channel after the synchronizing is finished. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sat 5.6 How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create Custom channel. 2. Create Repository. 3. Attach the Repository to the channel. 4. Sycn the repository the channnel. Actual results: The packages starts to show up as packages without channel. Manage Software Packages -> Channel: Packages in no channels -> Press: View Packages The packages will appear in the channel after the synchronizing is finished. Additional info: From the SW mailing list: I just installed a new server with spacewalk 2.0. I created a new channel for CentOS 6.5 base packages. I called the channel centos6.5-base-i686. I then ran the command spacewalk-repo-sync —channel=centos6.5-base-i686 —url=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.5/os/i386/ The sync appears to be running, however when I list packages on the Spacewalk web page it displays all of the packages under “Packages in no channels” and not in the new channel I created. Will it move the packages to the correct channel once the sync is complete or is there another step that I missed to actually sync the packages from centos to the channel I have created? I want to set up many channels and sync each source url into those channels. jeff
