[Spacewalk-list] RHEL6 - Spacewalk - MREPO [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

Well I downgraded it to that version....Same rpc error. It looks to me that rpclib.Fault has been replaced by something else. What version of Python are you using? Seems to me reading all previous posts here and elsewhere it worked using Python 2.4.x but I'm afraid if I change python I'll completely hose the system.

Hi!

   Well thanks for the rpm. I installed it but still have the same issue with the RPC call. I am running this on the spacewalk server itself and using the spacewalk rhn-client-tools which I believe is where the rpc include file is located in. I also found mrepo-0.8.8-15.1.noarch.rpm and installed that and it included the rpc include file. But still got the same error. I really didn't want to have to have multiple servers to be doing this all but it's looking like I may need too.

So if anyone else has a bright ideas I'm all ears. I just don't want to destroy all the work on done on SW itself.

Hello all.

   I'm running into an issue of using mrepo so I can sync repos' If I install mrepo 0.8.7-2.el6 from from the EPEL I get issues running gensystemid:

[root at xxxxxxx mrepo-master]# gensystemid -u rhnuser -p rhnpassword -r 6Server /var/mrepo/rhel6s-x86_64/
/usr/share/mrepo/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py:16: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
gensystemid: Architecture not supplied, using system architecture x86_64
gensystemid: Release name 6Server is not a known RHN release.
[root at xxxxxx mrepo-master]# gensystemid -u rhnuser -p rhnpassword -r 5Server /var/mrepo/rhel6s-x86_64/
/usr/share/mrepo/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py:16: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
gensystemid: Architecture not supplied, using system architecture x86_64
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gensystemid", line 270, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/gensystemid", line 237, in main
    except rpclib.Fault, f:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Fault'

So does anyone know if there is a good update to mrepo for RHEL6? I have also tried the GIT version of MREPO and the version from another source using mrepo-0.8.8-0.pre1.el6.rft.noarch.rpm and installing rhpl-0.221-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm. Still no luck any way. I know this is an issue with Redhat removing support for RHPL and changes to the underlying infrastructure in RHEL6. So if anyone has found a solution to using mrepo with RHEL 6.5, can you please post links or whatever you may have?

Thanks!

Glen Collins
