[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-debian-sync - Ubuntu support ?

[Morgan Cox]

Hi.

I am also trying to get the script to work with Ubuntu.

Your new modified version doesn't work (as it is looking for the work
'debian' in the URL), I tried the version I edited (with the debianroot
part edited out)  and this was the result...


---------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at spacewalk new]# cd ..
[root at spacewalk ~]# ./spacewalk-debian-sync2.pl --username spacecadet
--password '*************' --channel 'ubuntu12.04-main' --url '
http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/'
INFO: Fetching Packages.gz... done
INFO: Packages in repo:         8076
INFO: Packages already synced:  0
INFO: Packages to sync:         8076

Error GETing

Not Found at ./spacewalk-debian-sync2.pl line 135
----------------------------------------------


I then tried to modify the new latest script by simply changing the line


if ($url =~ /(.*debian\/)/) {

to

if ($url =~ /(.*ubuntu\/)/) {


Once I did that it 'started' to work.. however bombed out after a few
packages...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas how I can get it working with Ubuntu? (it seems to already
halfway work..)

One thing is that it must have the packages number wrong... There must be
far more than 8076 packages - in Debian the main repo has over 20000

Spacewalk would be even better than it is now is debian/ubuntu was
more natively supported

p.s Thanks for your efforts.
