[Spacewalk-list] Export all RPMs from channel

[Matthew Madey]

I've created an API script to do just this. Update the SATELLITE_URL,
LOGIN, PASSWORD, and channel variables for your environment.

softwarechannel_listpackages.py

##BEGIN SCRIPT##

#!/usr/bin/python

import xmlrpclib
import os
import sys
import subprocess

SATELLITE_URL = "http://spacewalk.example.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "username"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "password"

channel = "rhel-x86_64-server-5-rhn-tools"

client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)

key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)

packages = client.channel.software.listAllPackages(key, channel)
for package in packages:
#   print package['id']
        package_id = package['id']
        url = client.packages.getPackageUrl(key, package_id)
        print url


client.auth.logout(key)

##END SCRIPT##

Then use it to dump the download locations for each package into a text
file like this:

python softwarechannel_listpackages.py > package_list

You can then simply locally wget each of the packages.

for x in `cat package_list` ; do wget $x ; done

Hope this helps.
