[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Errata and CentOS Announce

[Wolfgang Neudorfer]

Hi Steve,

thanks for your reply - great to have you in this thread. I'm testing CEFS and already have one question: How is the XML file updated? Is there manual interaction of you needed or is this automated? As time is an important factor this is crucial for me.

Regards,

Wolfgang

Dear Wolfgang,

a few months back I was looking at the same thing but wasn't quite happy
with the way David's script works. No offense :-)

I have therefore created a Perl script and Errata in XML format. I had
advertised this to the list when I initially released it so I hope this
is not considered a double-post.

In the meantime it has evolved and I have received some positive feedback.
If you want to try it you can find it at http://cefs.steve-meier.de

Let me know if you have questions or how it works for you.

Kind regards,
  Steve
