It has optional integration with RHN for notes, description, topic info, and CVE's and/or can use the OVAL file like the errata-import.pl script does. The created errata gets a suffix based on the OS version and architecture (e.g. ":C5-64" or "C6-32"), because the same errata can exist for multiple OS versions and architectures (and creating the errata for more than one base channel would result in packages being copied which is a mess again). Also a proxy can be defined for spacewalk and or RHN servers Or, for RedHat: - log in to RHN, get the errata for the specified channel (possibility to define the date range) - then follow the same logic as for CentOS </blockquote> For the persons interested in using my script: - I confirmed it to be working for RHEL4 (Extended support), RHEL5, RHEL6 errata and for CentOS 5 and 6 (32 and 64bit) - something I forgot to mention in the original mail: proxy support is in there (just not authenticated, but that can be added if wanted) See github for the latest version (some small bugfixes have been made): https://github.com/liedekef/spacewalk_scripts Feedback is greatly appreciated!
