[Spacewalk-list] clone-errata ChanMap advice

[John H McCoy]

After upgrading to 1.6 I decided to give clone-errata another try.
I managed to have some success with version .2 getting my CentOS 5 x64 
base channel errata working.
Couldn't get any others to work though, then I discovered that 
clone-errata was up to ver 0.9

I'm now getting more errata published but they don't seem to apply to my 
6 clients at all.
The ChanMap and SuffixMap sections are a bit confusing as the examples 
on the web seem to reference RHEL channels only not CentOS ones.

Any how this is what I've done:
[ChanMap]
rhel-x86_64-server-5=centos5-x86_64
rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-5=centos5-x86_64-extras
rhel-x86_64-server-6=centos6-x86_64
rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6=centos6-x86_64-extras

[ChanSuffixMap]
rhel-x86_64-server-5=R5-64
rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-5=R5-64-S
rhel-x86_64-server-6=R6-64
rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6=R6-64-O


Clearly I've at least confused the Suffix Map as I used both S and O.
Have I messed this up royally or what?

Here are my channel labels and repos they point to:
centos5-x86_64 -- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/
centos5-x86_64-extras -- http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/
centos5-x86_64-updates -- 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/

centos6-x86_64 -- http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/
centos6-x86_64-extras -- http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/x86_64/
centos6-x86_64-updates -- 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/updates/x86_64/

I almost forgot, I'm getting this error when clone-errata exits:

Thanks all and thanks for the great OSS product!!!
