[Spacewalk-list] channel weirdness

[Guy Matz]

Ah!!  So it looks like my metadata files got created, but with a ".new"
extension!!

matz at pdx-lv01:/var/cache/rhn/repodata/prod-centos7-x86_64$ ls -lrt
total 608196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      1039 May  3 08:48 repomd.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  11414104 May  3 08:48 primary.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 248871638 May  3 08:48 other.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  27746744 May  3 08:48 filelists.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  12895419 Jun 25 13:48 primary.xml.gz.new
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  32289039 Jun 25 13:48 filelists.xml.gz.new
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 289556494 Jun 25 13:48 other.xml.gz.new

What's up with that?! Can I just mv the .new files in place?
