Thanks, I've took a little look at your plugin and to spacewalk/yum/cobbler/yumdownloader python files on my spacewalk server and to the yum api documentation, in order to find a way to get package dependencies, but i've never used python and it takes for me some time to understand how python and yum api works :)

Yes, I had the same problem. In the meantime I hacked a plugin to spacewalk- repo-sync to read includes from a config file, but it would be way better if support for reading and setting yum config options for spacewalk-repo-sync existed in Spacewalk natively. I'm attaching the file in case you're interested, but I didn't have time to really think the design through, so it's a "quick & dirty" version (it's based on yum_src.py from Spacewalk). Basically you have to put the file in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spacewalk/satellite_tools/repo_plugins/ and put a config file (like subset of yum config with just includepkgs options in each repo section) in /etc/rhn/spacewalk-repo-sync-yum.conf and then you can run e.g.: spacewalk-repo-sync --channel=epel-5-i386 --type=yumsubset (assuming you have epel-5-i386 channel with repository URL and GPG keys defined). You also have to hunt down all dependencies and include them in includepkgs manually. I started working on something to make this easier but so far lack the time to get anywhere with it. Let me know if that works for you (I'm away next week but will respond as soon as I'm back). -- Michael Gliwinski Henderson Group Information Services 9-11 Hightown Avenue, Newtownabby, BT36 4RT Phone: 028 9034 3319 ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
