[Spacewalk-list] Content Merge - Child Channels

[Matthew Madey]

Alex,

Using the api in a python script is probably the best way to do this. I set
up a cron job to merge packages.

I simply create two arrays, one for source channels and one for destination
channels like so:


## Source and Destination Channels. All items must be positioned
identically in the corresponding lists!
src_channels = ['rhel-x86_64-server-6-base',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-epel', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-hpsa',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-optional',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-puppet-dependencies',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-puppet-product',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-spacewalk-client',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-thd-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-tools',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-base-updates']
dst_channels = ['rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-epel', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-hpsa',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-optional',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-puppet-dependencies',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-puppet-product',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-spacewalk-client',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-thd-tools',
'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-tools', 'rhel-x86_64-server-6-stores-updates']

print "Merging selected channels!"

client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[0], dst_channels[0])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[1], dst_channels[1])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[2], dst_channels[2])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[3], dst_channels[3])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[4], dst_channels[4])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[5], dst_channels[5])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[6], dst_channels[6])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[7], dst_channels[7])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[8], dst_channels[8])
client.channel.software.mergePackages(key, src_channels[9], dst_channels[9])

print "All channels have been synchronized!"

client.auth.logout(key)


I'm no expert on python, so I'm sure there's a more pythonic way to do
this, but it works.
