The problem seems to be in the spacewalk APIs not in the script its self. I've tried several different methods to work around it but it looks like the APIs and possibly the database will need work before its viable. </blockquote><div>2. That would be cool. So a good setup would look like this perhaps? ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-5 --destinationchannel=rh5-x64-base-channel -F day -r ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-6 --destinationchannel=rh6-x64-base-channel -F day -r ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-5 --destinationchannel=centos5-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el5 --rewritepackagereleaseto el5.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS5X64 -r ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-6 --destinationchannel=centos6-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el6 --rewritepackagereleaseto el6.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS6X64 -r ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-i386-server-5 --destinationchannel=centos5-x32-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el5 --rewritepackagereleaseto el5.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS5X32 -r This leads to another question, how does the rh5 and rh6 channel differ from eachother?

These flags make it match the right package in the channel if it matches the el6 or el6.centos you should always use this for Centos channels > > > My best guess for the CentOS channels I should use these flags: > ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-5 > --destinationchannel=centos5-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom > el6 --rewritepackagereleaseto el6.centos -F day > ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-6 > --destinationchannel=centos6-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom > el6 --rewritepackagereleaseto el6.centos -F day > ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-i386-server-5 > --destinationchannel=centos5-x32-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom > el6 --rewritepackagereleaseto el6.centos -F day > this would give you better results ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-5 --destinationchannel=centos5-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el5 --rewritepackagereleaseto el5.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS5X64 ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-x86_64-server-6 --destinationchannel=centos6-x64-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el6 --rewritepackagereleaseto el6.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS6X64 ./<a href="http://eva-direct-errata-sync.pl" target="_blank">eva-direct-errata-sync.pl</a> --sourcechannel=rhel-i386-server-5 --destinationchannel=centos5-x32-base-channel --rewritepackagereleasefrom el5 --rewritepackagereleaseto el5.centos -F day -e RH -E CENTOS5X32 > Are my assumptions/examples correct? If not, can someone correct me? you were very close one piece of advice I posted a new version of the script yesterday that fixed a few long standing bugs so make sure you have the latest version also I intend to release a new version latter this week to handle multiple target base channels which should reduce the need to rewrite the errata names. > > Regards, > Elias Abacioglu > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-list mailing list > <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </blockquote></div> </div></div> _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </blockquote></div>
