Hi Michael (and all others) 

I have close to no experience writing python code.. ( I might learn in the 
future), so I hope that someone else will take the job of rewriting this 
script... 

Besides of that, I'm not sure that all of the functionality of the script can 
be merged into spacewalk-repo-sync.. my script also contains functionality to 
check which distributions and sub-channels are available from Ubuntu.. 

Is there anything else I can do to help people rewrite/use this script for 
now??? 

Regards 

Martin

Emne: Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Ubuntu Sync Script 


Hello Martin, 

% I have created a bash script for syncing Ubuntu Channels to SpaceWalk.. 
% 
% The script has been written to resemble the "satellite-sync" and 
"mgr-ncc-sync" on Red Hat Satellite and SuSE Manager.. 
% 
% The script is definitely NOT perfect, and could do with a rewrite in 
python/perl.. But it works, and thats the main reason I'm releasing it... 


Your sync script looks good. If you really think about rewriting it into 
python I'd point you to spacewalk-repo-sync command. It is currently 
able to download packages only from yum repos but you can extend it with 
new repo plugin (see ./backend/satellite_tools/repo_plugins in spacewalk.git). 
So you have to write code only for fetching package list and packages 
itself and rest of the infrastructure is already there.
