Hi Team,
I promised to post the script I adapted for cloning errata from RHN to
my Spacewalk server. I'm sad to say that it's not a completed work at
this point, but does the basic things. Some things that are missing
and/or are caveats:
1) Updating errata that affect another channel, should you add a channel
that might be affected by an existing errata.
2) I've been a little lazy and have hard-coded my own RHN credentials in
the script, rather than asking the user for the info, passing it as an
argument, or reading it from a file. I'll get around to it later.
3) I would avoid errata publishing for the time-being. The
functionality exists in the script, but it's not right. If you pull
down an errata that's for both RHEL 4 & 5 (for instance).. you'll end up
with RHEL 5 packages in your RHEL 4 channels. I need to work this out.
4) This is my first attempt at anything with Python.. so it's probably
quite horrible. I will be updating this as I develop more, not sure if
the Spacewalk maintainers want to add something like this to their list
of user-contributed scripts... but I'd be happy to maintain it there, if
so.
I'm looking for feedback, suggestions... kicks. Whatever. :)
Hi Andy
Do you have any basic useage examples of this please?? eg
# python spw-clone-errata.py -l myuser -p mypass -c rhel-x86_64-server-5
spw-clone-errata.py:31: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
from sets import Set
try: spw-clone-errata.py --help
thanks
