Thanks, Matt.
I've actually written a small application in Go (it's about time that compiled languages made a comeback, right?) that uses the XML-RPC API to do this instead. Configuration is driven JSON files similar to those used by merge-channel-by-date. I'll speak to my superiors tomorrow and see if they will let me put it up on Github.

I set up a cron job to merge packages. I simply create two arrays, one for source channels and one for destination channels like so: ## Source and Destination Channels. All items must be positioned identically in the corresponding lists! src_channels = ['rhel-x86_64-server-6-base', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-epel', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-hpsa', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-optional', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-puppet-dependencies', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-puppet-product', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-spacewalk-client', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-thd-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-updates'] dst_channels = ['rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-epel', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-hpsa', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-optional', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-puppet-dependencies', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-puppet-product', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-spacewalk-client', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-thd-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-updates'] print "Merging selected channels!" client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[0], dst_channels[0]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[1], dst_channels[1]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[2], dst_channels[2]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[3], dst_channels[3]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[4], dst_channels[4]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[5], dst_channels[5]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[6], dst_channels[6]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[7], dst_channels[7]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[8], dst_channels[8]) client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[9], dst_channels[9]) print "All channels have been synchronized!" client.auth.logout(key) I'm no expert on python, so I'm sure there's a more pythonic way to do this, but it works.

The spacewalk-clone-by data command seems great, but it only seems to do packages with errata? If I was to just keep channels in sync from a package point of view and ignore errata, what would be the best way? I'm currently using the spacewalk-api and channel.software.mergePackages.
