[Spacewalk-list] rhn-clone-errata.py running issue

Wed Aug 15 22:25:57 UTC 2012

Good question
There is an embeded man file you can extract with the pod2txt command or
any of the other pod2... commands but there isn't a howto yet but if you
would like latter I can send you an example wrapper shell script I use with
it that should make it fairly obvious
I should write a howto in the wiki though and will try to get to it soon.
One simple note whenever the documentation mentions an errata source its
talking about RHN by default or a satillite/spacewalk server or channel
which contains the erratas you want to duplicate. And the target is the
spacewalk server and channel you want to populate.
