[Spacewalk-list] errata how-to for 1.0 ?

I recently made a few more modification to this script actually.

It scrapes from mail-archive.com<http://mail-archive.com> for the errata info, then searches the spacewalk server for the matching package to get the NVREA info (so you don't have to have another copy locally on disk). It also fills in some more data by scraping info from Red Hat.

Other than using a scraper or a similar script, i don't think there is any great way of getting CentOS errata into spacewalk. Karanbir did post a message a while back asking for suggestions on how to make the process easier, but i'm not aware of anything coming from that.

Sorry, this was for CentOS, and the script was:

Which ironically was one that Andy had posted about back in December.

Thanks!

What "errata script" are you referring to?  I assume you're wanting to
pull errata from RHN.

Andy Speagle sent an update of the 'rhn-clone-errata' script to this
list only a few weeks ago.  The script has reasonable internal
documentation and works really well.  They only missing features are
the creation of CVE and then the linking of said CVE to the errata,
however I'm working on these CVE API in my spare time.

Maybe I should just ask how other people are handling errata, and pushing updates to their servers?  That's mostly what I'm planning to use this for, so I can more easily manage patches across all our servers but it's been a year since the "errata script" has been updated, so curious if there's a better way.

Thanks,
Dan

Is there a good how-to doc for setting up to pull errata with 1.0?  I thought I remember there being one for 0.6, but not sure how much has changed for that part since then.

Thanks!
Dan
