[Spacewalk-list] Test/Dev to Prod

[Mark Constant]

I am still having an issue understanding how to properly get patches from a
test/dev environment to a prod environment.

I currently have an environment called Test/Dev with an activation key. I
then created a base channel and the underlying child channels. I have set
it to sync to repositories the first of the month.

That works fine. But then I have an Production environment with an
activation key. I created a base channel and child channels for that also.
How do I get it so when I run a script production just becomes a copy of
Test/Dev downloads as of the point I run the script? I modified a script
below but it doesn't seem to do anything.

What is the proper way to set it up so the beginning of the month Test/Dev
is synced (which is happening), then a week later unless something is wrong
just sync Test/Dev to Prod?
