[Spacewalk-list] Assigning a configuration channel to an activation key

[Partha Aji]

That part is a bit broken still.. I am in the middle fixing the UI part..

For now if you need to add config channels you can use the xmlrpc API, 
Look at
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/XmlrpcHandlers#UsingtheAPI for 
more info.. Here is a sample snippet in python that should add the 
config channels to your activation key..


#!/usr/bin/env python
import xmlrpclib
SATELLITE_HOST = "<your satellite address>"
SATELLITE_URL = "http://%s/rpc/api" % SATELLITE_HOST
login = "admin"
password = "password"
#connect to the server
client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)
# get the session key
key = client.auth.login(login, password)
client.activationkey.set_config_channels(key, ["<activation-key-1>", 
"<activation-key-2>" ...], ['>config_channel_label-1>', 
'>config_channel_label-2>'....])
client.auth.logout(key)

thanks
