<Logos01> dhanasekaran: https://github.com/Logos01/admin-tools/blob/master/import_errata
<Logos01> That's my method.
<Logos01> It depends on the script, "errata-import.pl" as found on http://cefs.steve-meier.de
<Logos01> (Basically just grab errata-import.pl into /usr/local/bin and then my script as well. Then you can (best if done weekly) run my script.)
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, https://github.com/Logos01/admin-tools/blob/master/import_errata 404 error please check
<Logos01> https://github.com/Logos01/admin-tools/bin
<Logos01> Try that or https://github.com/Logos01/admin-tools/tree/master/bin
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, it's working
<Logos01> :D
<Logos01> Script is BSD/lGPL/GPLv2. Take your pick.
<dhanasekaran> How to use this script please guide me Logos01 import_errata already i have "errata-import.pl
<Logos01> dhanasekaran: Okay, so make sure "errata-import.pl" is in your /usr/local/bin -- well, anywhere in $PATH (as defined inside import_errata)
<Logos01> Invocation from there is as shown in the script itself.
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, i moved  "errata-import.pl" to /usr/local/bin next
<Logos01> dhanasekaran: Add import_errata somewhere to your $PATH
<Logos01> (I prefer /usr/local/bin for homebrew scripts. This is part of the FHS)
<Logos01> Make sure it's executable.
<dhanasekaran> [root@spacewalkserver ~]# sh import_errata 
<dhanasekaran> sed: can't read /etc/spacewalk: No such file or directory
<dhanasekaran> sed: can't read /etc/spacewalk: No such file or directory
<dhanasekaran> cat: /etc/secure/proxy_file: No such file or directory
<Logos01> Oh.
<Logos01> 1) Do not invoke w/ sh.
<Logos01> This is a *bash* script.
<Logos01> Not an ash/"sh".
<Logos01> (Note the interpreter declaration. It matters.)
<Logos01> So you can remove the /etc/secure/proxy_file if you're not behind an HTTP proxy.
<Logos01> (the line for it.)
<Logos01> You will however need (and I should document this I s'pose) -- you will need the file, "/etc/spacewalk", which will have two lines.
<Logos01> line 1 is the UID of an admin user of your Spacewalk server.
<Logos01> line 2 is the password of that user.
<dhanasekaran> [root@spacewalkserver ~]# cat /etc/spacewalk
<dhanasekaran> systems
<dhanasekaran> hereweg correct
<Logos01> (I believe so. I'll rephrase to make it more obvious.)
<Logos01> Let's say your Spacewalk admin user is called "spacewalkadmin", and spacewalkadmin's password is "password"
<Logos01> The file /etc/spacewalk will have the lines:
<Logos01> spacewalkadmin
<Logos01> password
* tmclaugh[work] has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* gkhachik has quit (Quit: Leaving)
<Logos01> (I *STRONGLY* recommend executing "chmod 0400 /etc/spacewalk" by the way.)
<Logos01> Anyhoo.  From there...
<Logos01> You should be able to follow the usage pattern as shown in import_errata --help
<dhanasekaran> [root@spacewalkserver ~]# ./import_errata 
<dhanasekaran> cat: /etc/secure/proxy_file: No such file or directory
<dhanasekaran> 404 Not Found
<Logos01> dhanasekaran: Comment out that line.
<Logos01> Unless your Spacewalk server is behind an http proxy.
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, thanks i commented line 43, 44
<Logos01> (If you *ARE* behind an http proxy then you would populate /etc/secure/proxy_file with 'http://proxyuser:proxypassword@proxyaddress:####' (where '####' is the port number your proxy listens on.)
<Logos01> But you are not, so we can ignore this.
<Logos01> Give it another go.
<Logos01> /usr/local/bin/import_errata --debug --publish
<dhanasekaran> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260220/ please check 
<dhanasekaran> i correctly commented
<Logos01> Run "/usr/local/bin/import_errata --debug --publish"
<Logos01> Then show me that output.
<dhanasekaran> please check http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260229/
<Logos01> looking
<Logos01> Oh.
<Logos01> Change the string "spacewalk.virt.net" to match your actual spacewalk server DNS entry.
<Logos01> That's in line 66 of the script.
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, i changed it's running big log screen running
<Logos01> That's good.
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, still running
<Logos01> Should be seeing a crapton of lines a lot like "DEBUG: Package ID 1861 is openssl097a-0.9.7a-9.el5_4.2.i386.rpm"
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, yesh..
<Logos01> Yeah, since this is your first run this could (conceivably) take as long as an hour.
<Logos01> The good news is it's doing it's voodoo.
<Logos01> (It's working.)
<dhanasekaran> i think it scan my hole repo
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, thanks
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, thanks
<Logos01> :D :D
<Logos01> I'm curious -- what are you using your Spacewalk server for?
<dhanasekaran> pushing packages from server to client , client  machine installation, using cobbler, 
<Logos01> Work environment? What size a company?
<Logos01> :3
* mcalmer has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
* jsherrill_afk is now known as jsherrill
* Egyptian[Laptop] ([email protected]) has joined #spacewalk
* slukasik has quit (Quit: Leaving)
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, fully linux environment all the servers, What size a company? what do you mean?
* Egyptian[Laptop] has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
<Logos01> Well, to the nearest hundred how many OS instances?
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, more than 200.
* crashmag has quit (Excess Flood)
<Logos01> Nifty. Thanks much.
* jjj_ ([email protected]) has joined #spacewalk
* crashmag ([email protected]) has joined #spacewalk
<dhanasekaran> Logos01, Hi Got INFO: Errata created: 693
<Logos01> There ya go!
<Logos01> Now you can add that script to your root crontab.
<Logos01> Call it a day.
<Logos01> Again, I recommend running it 1x weekly.
