Are we using the correct URL to get the packages updates.


#### Channel label: centos6-x86_64-base ####
Repo URL: http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/centos/6/updates/x86_64/

#### Channel label: centos6-x86_64-updates ####
Repo URL: http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/pub/linux ... es/x86_64/

I suspect that's not correct since you are syncing from the /6/ symlink which always points to the latest version. That means that when 6.9 changes to 6.10, your sync will then mix 6.10 into your 6.9 repos and that's not the way we recommend. I don't use satellite etc but the wiki page about setting up a local mirror has instructions on how to do it outside of those products. For information on how to go about setting up a local CentOS mirror please see https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror

Hi,

Can i use the below Repo URL for centos 6 base updates in satellite instead of old one since my centos7 repo URL's are working fine.

#### Channel label: centos6-x86_64-base ####
Repo URL: http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/pub/linux ... os/x86_64/


OLD ONE as below

#### Channel label: centos6-x86_64-base ####
http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/centos/6/updates/x86_64/


CentOS 7 Repo URL:

#### Channel label: centos7-x86_64-base ####
Repo URL: http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/pub/linux ... os/x86_64/

#### Channel label: centos7-x86_64-updates ####
Repo URL: http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/pub/linux ... es/x86_64/

You need to sync each point release separately. For example, for 6.9 you have base and updates repos. The updates repo gets all packages that have been updated since 6.9 came out. Now when 6.10 comes along there is a new 'base' repo and that contains all 6.10 packages at release time and the updates repo is emptied and started over. If you sync 6.10 on top of 6.9 you end up with a mixture of 6.9 and 6.10 and it won't work.

The solution is to sync from the explicit release directory - i.e. /6.10/ not from /6/ and to manage the symlink '/6/' that points to the current version.

So if I say this a third time will it help? You're syncing from the /6/ symlink. Don't do that. Sync from e.g /6.10/

sorry to disturb you again

I will use the /6.10/ base repo URL to sync but I have compared the packages on both URL's , both are contain the same packages.
please confirm which base repo URL i have to use to sync properly.

http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/centos/6/updates/x86_64/

http://centos.mirrors.tds.net/centos/6.10 /updates/x86_64/ ---> Recommended by you

If you're ONLY syncing updates then you are missing ALL the packages in the base repo. The base repo is entirely replaced on every point release and updates is emptied.

Those URLs both point to updates. The base one should point to base not updates!
