Going back to the question of permanently removing a package from a subscribed \
channel, I followed these steps
Channels --> Manage Software Channels --> Manage Repositories --> <Label> --> \
Filters (last field on the screen).
And put -firefox* in the filters box and clicked update repository. The name of the \
file(s) I am trying remove is firefox-68.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64, there are a few \
with this type of name, all beginning with firefox. I also deleted (which is \
temporary) the firefox packages that had already synced down previous.
The channel syncs every night, so I checked again this morning, and the package was \
not blocked. Any ideas why it didn't work?
Regards,
Sulove

If you're using spacewalk-repo-sync to sync an upstream yum repo to spacewalk, you \
can edit the following file:
# cat /etc/rhn/spacewalk-repo-sync/yum.conf
[ansible-rhel7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-2.9*,ansible-test-2.9*
[epel7-centos7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-*
[epel7-rhel7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-*
This ensures my Spacewalk mirrors EPEL, but does not include any RPMs named ansible \
(since they're no longer maintained). It also ensures I don't mirror ansible 2.9 \
from the upstream ansible-rhel7-x86_64 yum repo.
I had to clean the RPMs out of my channels manually once or twice, but adding these \
statements ensure they're not mirrored in the future.

The way I do that is via the command line on the system: yum versionlock [1].
You might also want to create a channel copy and assign the system to that specific \
channel.
You can also lock the complete system via Spacewalk, but I don't think you are \
looking for that.

That worked, thank you all for the help. One more question, is there a way to make \
a/one package not get pushed/synced to one particular system within a Spacewalk \
channel environment? If so, how?

Hello Sulove,
check out the filters in the repository settings:
Channels --> Manage Software Channels --> Manage Repositories --> <Label> --> \

Where on the WebUI am I able to block these packages? The only thing I see is to \
delete a package within a channel, which will reappear the next time it syncs. \
(Manage software channels ---> click on # of packages in channel, search for package \
in question, click remove.)

Is the channel definition within the command line? How would I get to where I \
want to go?
For example, if I want to block Firefox package updates from a channel called \
"centos7-x86-64," what commands would I run exactly? I am a beginner Spacewalk user.

Something like
"-perl*" would not sync perl packages.
Note that this might break dependencies.

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] Permanently remove package from subscribed \
channel
Hi,
Is there a way to permanently remove packages from a Spacewalk channel? I \
am receiving Firefox package updates in a Centos7 channel that I don't believe should \
be occurring; I've figured out a way to temporarily delete the Firefox package \
updates, but once the channel syncs (which is often), the Firefox updates pull again \
and I am left with the same issue.
Thank you,
Sulove
