[Spacewalk-list] Switching from rhn-clone-errata to eva-direct-errata-sync

[Paul Robert Marino]

Actually quickly looking at it it should be fairly simple Im just
working on an other project right now with a tight deadline so i cant
get to it right now

this is the module im using
http://search.cpan.org/~kmacleod/Frontier-RPC-0.07b4/lib/Frontier/Client.pm
The spacewalk_login subroutine would need to be altered along with the
option parsing
if I were to add it I would want to make it source and target specific
 because I use the same subroutine to login to both spacewalk and RHN
I actually have a fairly good idea how to do.
in your case you can simply change
"
my $client = new Frontier::Client(url =>
"https://$options->{$direction.'_host'}/rpc/api/", debug => 0);
"
to something like
"
my $client = new Frontier::Client(url =>
"https://$options->{$direction.'_host'}/rpc/api/", debug =>
0,proxy=>'http://username:password@proxyhost:8080');
"
as a temporary workaround till I have the time to add the feature the
down side is it will use the proxy when connecting to both the source
and destination for the sync.
