I’ve been playing a bit with the spacewalk-create-channel command. Two things I’ve noticed:
You must specify the update level and there is no way that I can find to just select the “latest update.” Then once I make the clone the GUI shows no errata in the new channel whereas when I make the clone through the RHSS console the channel has a list of them. I would like to just say the latest update and see the errata attached to the clone. Anyone have any thoughts?

Scripts to modify the channels systems are using as well as making the channel clones would be great. Thank you for offering. If You would post the collection to GitHub, please.

Even a extra web interface in php and perl crontab to manage the patching of thousands of servers via spacewalk. If interested, I can put them on github ...

Each month I clone the distribution channels so I can have sets of machines at the identical patch level and those patches can be worked through the testing cycle before being applied in production. Currently I am doing this manually through the GUI. A mindless, time consuming thing. I would like to set up scripts to do this for me. Any clues on how to do this will be much appreciated.
