For what it's worth - it appears that errata are now importing correctly now from the public-yum repository.
--Tony From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robinson, Adam (ITS) Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 1:51 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Oracle Linux Errata I saw on the list a few weeks ago that there were some questions about how to get Oracle Linux errata info into Spacewalk. Most of what I saw looks like it related to importing data from the public-yum repository. I however am using the ULN to mirror the packages and the errata. I have a server registered to ULN that mirrors the packages into a yum repository. This yum repository contains no errata info. I am then having spacewalk sync from the local repository. I have written a script that on the mirror server pulls the errata info from ULN and writes an XML file. I have another script that I run on the Spacewalk server that takes that xml file and creates errata from it. I also have some hacks in there to connect to the database and set the creation date. I need to update it for 1.9 because it looks like the API was extended to support setting the date. It's not the prettiest (the first thing I have ever written in Python), and it makes some assumptions (like your repository names in Spacewalk match the ULN repository names), but I hope others will find it useful.
