[Spacewalk-list] SLES11 SP3 errata severity in Spacewalk 2.3

[Tomas Lestach]

Hello,

for the Systems => System Currency Report page
the errata will be identified in the following way:

* Enhancements are errata of type: Product Enhancement Advisory
* Bug Fixes are errata of type: Bug Fix Advisory
* Security (Low) are errata of type: Security Advisory
                    *and* synopsis starts with capital 'L' (like e.g. 'Low: nss security update')
* Security (Moderate) ... synopsis starts with capital 'M' (e.g. 'Moderate: pam security update')
* Security (Important) ... capital 'I' (e.g. 'Important: glibc security and bug fix update')
* Security (Critical) ... capital 'C' (e.g. 'Critical: firefox security update')

This probably isn't optimal, but that's how it works.

Feel free to check your errata using:
echo "select id, synopsis, advisory_type from rhnErrata;" | spacewalk-sql -i
