[Spacewalk-list] rhn-clone-errata src-channel option

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello,
It's perfect. I totally understand now! Thanks a lot.

I thought that rhn-clone-errata parsed the config file [ChanMap] block and
then launched a sync for each chanmap found.
I'll modify my script to call rhn-clone-errata for each channel now that I
understand!

Would you prefer that I modify rhn-clone-errata.py to add an option to
behave like I thought it was and provide you a patch?

Pierre
