I haven't done much with errata import scripts in Spacewalk but when I last 
tried it on an older version (1.7 maybe?) there seemed to be an issue with 
having CentOS/OracleLinux/ScientificLinux in the same Spacewalk.  If I recall 
correctly, it didn't seem possible to keep the Errata cleanly separated between 
the distros because the package names were the same in many cases.

Can somebody enlighten me on this topic and best practices for Errata with 
multiple RHEL clones?  Has the situation changed or improved in any way with 
one of the newer errata import scripts?  Is there one of these scripts that 
works best in this situation?

I'd like to revisit pulling in errata for these distros in order to provide 
better info on updates to be applied to my users as we progresses patches up 
through the tiers but I don't want to make a mess in Spacewalk.  I'm currently 
getting errata for OracleLinux automatically through reposync and so far the 
OracleLinux errata seem to be doing what I expect (associate only with packages 
in the Oracle Linux channels).

Thanks and regards,
--Tony
