Note that I've written this for Spacewalk 1.1 on CentOS 5 (still works for me 
on 1.2, had no time to upgrade further yet).  It looks like some 
implementation/API changed in some newer version.

Uhm, hardcoded types?  I wonder why.  I added another type because I didn't 
want to have to patch the builtin type with each new release.  Could any devs 
comment on that change?

Yip, looks like at least the implementation of ContentPackage has changed.

No, the rest seems fine, just the changes to reposync broke it.  When I have 
some time I'll try to find the relevant code in on-line repo browser and see 
if I can do anything to fix it.

In the meantime, you could maybe check if there's already a request in 
bugzilla for having that functionality built in?
