[Spacewalk-list] New CentOS Errata Tool for Spacewalk

Hi,

I realized it was mostly due to ProxyTimeout. Once I changed that, errata creation seems to be working OK.

On a side note, how often do you release the Errata XML file? I was wondering if you would be willing to share the conversion script so I can run it in a schedule?

Thanks,
Prakash

Hi Steve,

I am trying to use your errata application tool, but am running into some issues. I am not sure if the issues are at the Spacewalk end or in the script itself.

Whenever I run the script, it creates a portion of the errata and then I get a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" and the script just stops.

Here is some of what is in catalina.out:

And, I think this is having an impact on the errata "Advanced Search". Earlier, I received an email from Spacewalk saying errata "CEBA-2012:0192" affects 2 of my systems.

But when I try to search for this errata using Errata -> Advanced Search, it is not displayed in the results. I can see "CEBA-2012:0194<https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23912>", "CEBA-2012:0193<https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23910>", "CEBA-2012:0190<https://bmispacewalkp1.chmcres.cchmc.org/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=23908>", but not "CEBA-2012:0192".

However, if I select one of the affected systems in the Spacewalk WebUI, and go to Software -> Errata, the above errata shows up there as applicable and I am able to go from there and look at the errata details. Any idea what is going on here?

Regards,
Prakash

Dear Spacewalk-Users,

I would like to introduce yet another tool to import CentOS Errata information into
your Spacewalk Server.

You can find it here -> http://cefs.steve-meier.de<http://cefs.steve-meier.de/>

It is written in Perl and CentOS Errata are provided in an XML file available for download.
Errata are created via the API and can be published either automatically or manually.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Thank you!

Kind regards,
Steve Meier
