Hi Franky!
I’d be grateful if you could add that feature. Thank you very much.

Regarding my setup, I have been trying to determine on my own what would be the 
best channel setup for my needs.
If anyone has a better layout/setup/examples/recommendations, I’d gladly have a 
look at it.

I have assumed that a host can only access channels that are children of the 
parent that the host is subscribed to, is that assumption wrong?
I have also assumed that a host can only subscribe to one base channel aka the 
parent channel according to the assumption above. Wrong thinking?

Regarding the split of channels based on purpose, that’s another assumption I 
have made since Red Hat Network has this channel layout, that the packages 
differ between the client/workstation/server/etc releases and that it would be 
wisest to mimic their setup.

Maybe I have been “assuming” a little too much?

Best regards

Hi!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to clone/sync the errata in one channel into 
another channel within the same Spacewalk server (version 1.8) but haven’t 
found any resolution.
<snip>

Sync the errata info from Fedora EPEL 5 and 6 errata files into Spacewalk 
channels using ya-errata-import.pl – Works for one channel with Fedora EPEL 5 
RPMs and one channel with Fedora EPEL 6 RPMs.

9.

 ya-errata-import.pl will import your errata into a channel if the packages for 
that errata are there.
Re-running ya-errata-import.pl with the same errata for another channel (for 
the same OS type) will indeed fail, just because like you said: the ID exists.

Your setup is a bit unique in that way that you have the same OS type but for 
different purposes (workstation, server).
It's not difficult to add an option to add a suffix to errata, so I'll code it 
up.

Franky
