The assignment I have been working at for the last 2 years and 10 months is drawing to a close. Tomorrow is my last day.

yum -y install spacewalk-remote-utils
then to create a redhat 4 update 9 64 bits channel you execute:

spacewalk-create-channel --user USERNAME -v 4 -r AS -a x86_64 -u U9 --destChannel foo-rh-x86_64-4u9 -c rhel-x86_64-as-4 -s $(uname -n)
