[Spacewalk-list] RHEL6 - Spacewalk - MREPO [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Glen Collins]

Hi Bernhard!

   Thanks so much for the FIX! While it's a hack, it's a working hack and I was able to login to RHN and see the system subscribed. Still have not sync'd yet but I got past the actual running and subscription stage. I really appreciate you stepping up and telling me your fix. I just wish the original author was still working on this rather than being a dead project. At least now it'll be able to be searched for and others will be able to fix this.

My system is:

RHEL 6.5
Spacewalk 2.2

I used the following rpm:

mrepo-0.8.8-0.pre1.el6.rft.noarch.rpm (ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/dag.wieers.com/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/testing/RPMS/mrepo-0.8.8-0.pre1.el6.rft.noarch.rpm)

Here is the diff:

I also too ran into an issue with the SSL certs. The up2date config, since it is running on the spacewalk server had the local spacewalk server's SSL cert. (sslCACert[comment]=The CA cert used to verify the ssl server) Once I changed the up2date config to use the original RHN cert I was able to subscribe the system. I hope there is no ramifications on the local server changing this.

Thanks again!

----- Original Message -----
Hi,

I had to „patch“ /usr/bin/gensystemid on my spacewalk-server to resolve this error.

> [root at xxxxxx ~]# gensystemid --release=6Server /var/mrepo
> gensystemid: Architecture not supplied, using system architecture x86_64
> RHN Username: <username>
> RHN Password:
> Traceback (most recent call last):

>    except rpclib.Fault, f:
> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Fault'

I added the line

   sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/share/mrepo/')

above the line

   from up2date_client import config, rpcServer, up2dateErrors

to make sure, gensystemid uses the rpclib from mrepo and not from the spacewalk installation.

I am on Centos6 with python-2.6.6 and mrepo-0.8.8 


Regards,
Bernhard
