[Spacewalk-list] SLES11 SP3 errata severity in Spacewalk 2.3

[Bas Smeets]

Thank you, very helpful.

I've looked into the errata (updateinfo.xml) that's in the repository.
Apparently the severity is nowhere to be found. I suppose that means that
getting the severity for SLES updates isn't really a possibility.

Thanks again for the explanation!

Regards,
Bas
