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

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello,
So i've been doing some tests... and it doesn't work :(
Frontier client in version 0.07b4 doesn't support authenticated proxy. The
support is added in version 0.07b4p1
So I can't use your script.
i'll try to implement centos support on top of rhn-clone-errata.py...

Pierre
