No, there is not. You are correct. > Since > errata.update only receives a list of errata ids, how could we get the > names from the server in order to send them to zypper? I looked around Hmm, I thought that zypper code could handle it already.

No, you could not rename it. It will break API! If it really bothers you, you can create getPackageList as alias to getErrataInfo. Mark getErrataInfo as obsolete. And after several year rename it. But IMO it is not worth. > Could we add a getErrataNamesById method the xmlrpc API under errata? Yes, you can. Generally - if you need some API (backend or frontend) and you did not change semantics of old ones. And as far as the new API call does not create security risk (e.g. providing info, which system should not see). Then you can add it without problem. -- Miroslav Suchy Red Hat Satellite Engineering _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
